2 days ago my check engine light came on. The car has always run good. It has about 187,000 KMs on it. When I rev it up past 3000 RPM's it shudders and shakes. If I shift before 3000, then it's fine. But this happens in every gear. I went home and check my diagnostics unit and it flashed 4 times. In the Chiltons manual it shows that this is the Crank Sensor. I went to see how much one is and it lists for $600!! I can get it for $325, but I can replace the whole distributor for this price. Has anyone every had this problem before? Is there anything else that can be causing this? I really don't want to have to replace the distributor if I don't need to.
