Hello everyone. I had my engine on my 94 montore replaced couple years and I noticed that the part that is pictured here had cracked when they have done the job. I remember there being a thin slice of metal where the arrow is indicating.


Yesterday when I was driving it just turned off and won't start back on. I turn the ignition and it just makes a ignition turning sounds but will not start.


I don't know much of electric parts of the car, but I know the thin metal piece is missing from that part.


Will replacing part make my car start back again? Am I on the right track even?

 

so your fuel pump is working ???

 

that looks a lot like a relay, they come in five kinds of shapes, sizes and plastic.

cranking but no start:
compression
fuel
spark

 

I think I know what it is called now - crankshaft position sensor.

Fuel pump is working

 

If that is a crankshaft position sensor and it's broken, it could explain why your engine is not running.

 

I had that exact experience, but mine was with the CAMSHAFT position sensor. The Brain is not getting the TDC info on Cylinder 1 that it needs to time the firing of the spark plugs, and the fuel injectors so both get shut down. I replaced my sensor, and it started right up with no issue.

I attached some troubleshooting info from my 1995 LS , hope it helps.

The Crankshaft Position Sensor is a Hall Element type unit which sends signals to the ECM which are used to determine ignition and injector timing.
