Yes it very well could, because a misfiring coil pack or weak coil pack can cause interruptions in the signals to both the camshaft position sensor into the crankshaft position sensor. I had this happen on my Buick LeSabre, it gave a code 18, which is Cam / crank position sensor error okay. I replaced all three coil packs, and it went away and never came back. If you look at the diagram for the wiring of your ignition control module, you'll see that the coil packs, ignition control module, and camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are all interconnected.

Ford Transit Connect 1.8tddi 2004 wont start hot or cold but will start with a push?

Have you had the vehicle code read. if not, check the crank sensor for position they do have a tendancy to move. getting it code read would be the first option though.


How do you fix 1995 Dodge Neon error code 11 This code means no reference signal for distributor during engine crank.?

Code 11 means: Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor,/No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking/Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more from initial learned value Could be any of the above, need to check with a scanner to check sensor readings.


1991 Chevrolet 3.1 liter turns over with no start i have no fault codes replaced the coil pack module but no change am i dealing with a bad ecm please help?

Have you checked for spark after you replaced the pack? if not i would check the crank sensor. ANSWER I would check to see if you have fuel pressure before I would check the crank sensor which I think would throw a code. Spray a little throttle body cleaner into the engine and then crank it. Does it start? IF so you have a fuel problem and it is NOT SPARK. Just turn the key on and go back to see if you hear the fuel pump running. I just wonder why you are looking for spark unless you did some tests for it.


What would cause the odb code p0113 to register on a 1997 z24?

I HAVE AN OBD 2 SCANNER AND IN MY BOOK THAT IS THE INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT OR ALSO REFERED TO AS IAT SENSOR. THIS SENSOR IS LOCATED RIGHT ON THE AIR INTAKE TUBE. I THINK IT IS A TWO WIRE SENSOR.


What happens when you have just changed the crank positioning sensor on a 2002 Chevy blazer 6 cylinder and it still will not start?

Was that the only code that caused you to replace it? Do you have it close enough to sense again.

Check for spark and fuel. You're missing one of those.


What would cause a 1998 sebring convertibal to lose power and stall while driving and not restart?

It sounds like you are losing spark. This would cause an abrupt to die out. Common causes for loss of spark would be the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. The crank sensor goes down into the bell-housing and reads off a tone wheel on the flexplate; the cam sensor is in the distributor. Each of these sensors is needed for spark and if one drops out of the engine will die. Hopefully, there will be a code set pointing to one or the other, probably the crank sensor. Sometimes one of these can also short and kill the engine, but it also blanks out the signal of the opposite sensor, and it can't set a code. You may also opt to just replace the crank sensor in that situation and see if that fixes it.
