Re: Engine Speed Sensor Reply #26 – September 20, 2019, 07:41:25 pm Mike, I agree. I have a 3/8 palm ratchet I can use in case space is limited. We will keep the updates coming. Thanks everyone, John M. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Engine Speed Sensor Reply #27 – October 09, 2019, 04:27:03 pm Finally! I finally got a break in my schedule and the weather to change the Engine Speed Sensor. 1. I loosened the AC belt tensioner, removed the belt and moved the tensioner up out of the way. All of the work was done through the area under the AC compressor.2. Unplugged the old sensor.3. I used the my 3/8" ratchet and the crows foot socket to break the sensor loose. It didn't take much to loosen it. The rest of the removal was done by hand. 4. Lubricated the o-ring on the old sensor and installed it by hand until I couldn't turn it any more, then used the ratchet to tighten it up the rest of the way. Was concerned about over tightening because of the o-ring. Turned it till I was met with some resistance and then I stopped.5. Started the engine and no check engine light. Started it a few times and no check engine light.6. Replaced the AC belt and tensioner and job is done.Strange Thing: My odometer would always flicker and I could never tell my mileage. With the new sensor my odometer is working.Attached are some pictures. Easy job, John M Quote Selected 9 Likes

With the new sensor my odometer is working.This is probably unrelated. I find that my odometer comes and goes somewhat on a whim. The next time you drive it it probably won't work again. Needs new capacitors inside the unit to truly fix it. Quote Selected

Re: Engine Speed Sensor Reply #33 – October 17, 2019, 04:27:36 pm Well, I drove from Illinois to Florida and no check engine light, no issues. The engine speed sensor solved my problem. From all of my research on the internet, it is recommended to change it every five years.John M. Quote Selected

Did the new sensor solve your erratic odometer, or only the check engine light issue? Quote Selected
Re: Engine Speed Sensor Reply #35 – October 17, 2019, 04:54:51 pm No, only the check engine light. Odometer is still wack-o 🤪. Going to send it in for repair.John M. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Engine Speed Sensor Reply #36 – October 17, 2019, 05:09:08 pm That makes sense. I was wondering how they could be related. Turns out they're not. Thx. Quote Selected
