Default RE: Broken Crank sensor

I'mway past that point my friend, the sensor is broken of inside the engine, I've tried drilling a screw into it but not working. I don't want to have to take the oil pan off because the front motor mount is in the way and I can't get the bolts off.

Sorry to say, but you pretty much screwed yourself over then there, lol. Even if you take the pan off, I dont think the sensor is accessible, but I may be wrong.

Did all at is mentioned above, and i solved it by removing the pan, and pushing out the remaining portion of the crank sensor. It can be done.


*EDIT* After replacing the CPS, I found there was damaged wiring connect to my working CPS. That is where my code came from. Heads up there.

ok, it's do able, but how do I get the dam motor mount off. There's two bolts on the top of the bracket I can't access. The other two that are visable won't budge. It's only one bolt on the oil pan that the bracket is hiding. Is there a way to get that bolt out without taking this bracket off. Cause I can't afford to tow the car to the garage and have them do it. It's almost like I need a special impact to get in there. I tried using an electric impact but can't even get it in position...no room.

You can get to all of the bolts for the motor mount. It isn't very difficult to get off.

what do you use, because i can't get them loose with a ratchet. And the impact doesn't fit, unless there's a special angled socket. I have pictures, but don't know how to upload them/
