    hope it works for you that bench test in invalid. How the sensor works is there are magnets in the crank pulley. As it whips past the sensor the magnetic field causes pulses through the sensor that generates ac voltage. Its not going to have any voltage output sitting on the bench. The proper...

    I would just put a new crank sensor in. Problem is you will have to test it in the no start condition and since its very hard to replicate I would just put a new one and in to eliminate that being a problem. Like Stamp said they are cheap enough the crank sensor puts out .5 to 1 volt ac heres...

    aftermarket radio in 2008 EB

    Last time I put in a radio it had push button tuning and had a FM radio adapter. I am thinking about installing this but am a little leery of the whole thing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQ8RJTA?tag=viglink23361-20&th=1 Not that I don't have the skill or tools to do it, its just kind of...

    very interesting thought thinking about it, if that was the case then the engine would not crank over when its in the no start condition is that what is happening?

    afraid not. You can use a spark tester attached to the coil once it is out and verify spark that way and leave the plug in

    I understand that if it an intermittent problem like it sounds to me like it is, he may not be seeing it with the fuel pressure if the relay is behaving itself when he is checking fuel pressure. The relay problem I had acted exactly like this. It would just act up then act normally. Swapping...
