Re: '00 GLS hard starting

I got some ramps and changed the crankshaft sensor this morning. Was reminded to disconnect the battery by the sparks that came off the starter when I started moving it around. And quickly found that my plan to rest the starter on some sort of platform so I wouldn't have to disconnect the wires would not work. Starter has to be completely out of the way to gain access to the crank sensor. Luckily the bolt holding the sensor is not torqued cause I was not able to get a good bite with the socket, maybe a wrench would be easier but the socket did the job. Took maybe an hour but if I were to do it again would probably take half that since I now know what I'm doing. So far so good, no service engine light and test drive went good. Now the wife is out doing errands in it.
