Frozen gas lines?! What is there to do?

Is there a test for a crank sensor to determine if it was bad? The shop I had it towed to said they had no spark and no injector activity but after they changed the sensor they spark but still no injector activity that is why they changed the module. They also claim the sensor going bad could have taken out the module. Have you ever heard of this happening?

It could be the CKPS actually failed, but not likely it would “take out the module”! If both actually failed, this may have just been a coincidence. Now, the flip side of the coin; it could be neither one was faulty and you simply had a loose, or corroded terminal at the ICM. When the parts were replaced, the connections made contact. The connector has tin-plated pins that use spring pressure to connect to the ICM pins. After so many years of heat and oxidation, the connector will drop electrical contact. Another common problem was the terminal pin shrinking and losing contact due to extreme cold climates. The cure was to remove & replace the terminal, or clean all the pin connectors and carefully bend any loose ones to help tighten the contact on the pins at the module. (Of course, you should always add dielectric grease before installing & tightening the connector to the module). If you still have your old module, you can reinstall it for a test. No need of testing the old CKPS, (if you still have the old one) you already have a new one installed.
