What does your car do with a bad crank sensor?

A bad crankshaft position sensor can cause a variety of symptoms in your car, including:

* Engine stalling: The engine may stall suddenly while you are driving, or it may refuse to start at all.

* Rough idling: The engine may idle rough or at a low RPM.

* Engine misfires: The engine may misfire, causing jerking or hesitation when you accelerate.

* Poor fuel economy: Your car may get worse fuel economy than usual.

* Check engine light: The check engine light may come on.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the crankshaft position sensor is faulty.
