I love you Bob, but not enough to go all the way to El Paso to validate what you are saying! I will take your word for it until I find a local Regal.


To the OP; do not be confused by all the previous post! If your IP tach does not display, do not take that for granted! Always verify (with a scanner) that you are not showing RPM when it don't start? Again, if no RPM, suspect the CKPS.

I am the originator to this thread. My 97 regal gs 3.8supercharged did it again. Started great in the morning. (new battery) Drove 10 miles, turned it off, left came back a few minutes later and would not start. Kept bumping it and it finally started right up and ran great. The tach did not register anything or even move when cranking the engine to start. I believe this has been the topic of discussion on this issue. Went to work, hours later came out and started perfectly. I did plug a diagnostic tool into the computer dock. Got one reading concerning crankcase sensor or something like that, cleared it, did three more readings and no codes came up.

Any resolution?

Why? Are you having a similar issue?

Hopefully the OP took the crank position sensor DTCs at face value per his last post and looked into replacing the crank position sensor.
