Crank position sensor location/pictures
car died during idle. After waiting 5 min, it started ok, but power is very shy. check engine light on. Scanner says crank position sensor...I found lot of infor on CPS replacement on this forum, but not on SLK320 (very strange, no one has a problem with CPS on SLK320?). Read through other threads for the removal/installation, no problem. I looked at the engine/tranx area by the firewall, and can't find this CPS.
Could someone tell me where or some picturs would be great.
thanks

It has been two weeks, since the cps is replaced. Car is running fine now. Yes I had to remove the bracket for easy access. Getting the cable clip is troublesome. I found that it is easier to remove the sensor with the cable installed, and then remove the cable. It is just me. Thanks for all the infor

Did any electronic work need to be reset? My dad want to change this himself but is worried if anything needs to be reset electronically.
My car has done the same thing. when hot cranks but won't start til it cools, usually about 30 minutes after.

1999 oldsmobile intrigue gx
I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GX with a 3.5 L engine and when I try to crank it it would try to turn over and eventually would! Sometimes while I'm driving it will try to cut off and sometimes it will cut of when I'm driving it! This morning it will not start at all tries to turn over but will not crank at all! Can someone please tell me what to do to fix this problem!

mercedes slk 230 auto
slk 230 won't start
Had a problem with my slk 230 not starting today. It's run perfect for 3 years apart from replacing the air flow meter. It turned out to be the coolant level being too low. Topped it up and it started straight away. Always worth checking it before anything else
