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...
I would go through this set of articles

have you looked at the crankshaft sensor?
ok I read up on Android auto its nice but the units that have it are way out of my price range
still interested in answers to my original question.
thanks
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.

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?
I dont know
all I know is I have no idea of the history of the vehicle.
like I said I would check for spark next time it quits then go from there
thats all I got
missed your earlier comments You have old parts? What happened there?
Maybe there is a loose connection somewhere from previous work is why I ask
thanks
the problem is elsewhere
check for spark
the engine needs 3 things to start. Fuel. Ignition.Compression.
verifying spark would point me in the direction of what to look at next.
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...
