This video shows you how to install a new crankshaft position sensor from TRQ on your 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix (3.8L V6). The crankshaft position sensor is an important component of any electronically controlled ignition system. The sensor provides the computer with data about the position of the crank shaft to properly adjust ignition timing. If the sensor in your vehicle is broken or malfunctioning, you may suffer poor performance, or get a check engine light.
Once the sensor is installed, you will need to use a manufacturer scan tool to perform a crankshaft position sensor relearn.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 18 minutes
