I'll have a spare crank sensor soon. Less than 2 weeks I'll be pulling my motor and trans. All my sensors are good. Although if you are having voltage issues that will cause all your sensors to read off and certain sensors like the shielded and sensitive crank/can sensors sometimes won't function at all. I say fix your battery and alternator issue then see if you need a sensor. Driftmotion sells high amp alternators if you are running stereo etc.

Only thing i havnt looked at is the crank sensor starter and alternator.... but anyway sounds like a plan to me. Do u use paypal?!?!

I do not have a PayPal but my friend does and we could use his acct. I started one years ago and forgot everything lol

I would first address and charging system issues then move on to sensors. I will actually have a starter and alternator soon too.

Just want to get up and running. This is kinda frustrating.

You sure that's gas? Be really hard for gas to get that far back. Usually if its a bad o ring it'll just leak out around the fuel rail and not inside the intake area. Have you checked the spark plugs? Since they are so hard to get to they often get neglected.

Yea nixspeed wierdesr shi ive ever seen raw fuel sitting in the intake pipe plenum. I know that no supposed to be like that.
