How-to: diagnose a P0320 (crankshaft position sensor circuit failure)
This si a how-to video on the correct diagnois of a P0320 as applied to jeep/dodge/Chrysler cars and trucks. this was done on a 1997 jeep wrangler 2.5l 4 cylinder engine. you car or truck may not be exactly the same but the theories and principles are the same for the overall diagnosis. if you have any questions please feel free to email me itsthejeepdoctor@gmail.com, tweet at me @thejeepdoctor, find me on facebood facebook.com/itsthejeepdoctors and please check out my other videos. thanks!
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Noise (4.0L) - EricTheCarGuy
Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/
This was a strange one, a little more than a week after I put a starter on this engine it comes back with this horrible engine noise and I decided to investigate. I wasn't able to find the source of the noise and later in the day after they took the Jeep back the engine apparently let go for good. My friend then sold it to someone with a salvage yard and I haven't been able to get hold of him to find out what happened to it. I hope I'm able to track down the new owner and find out what the deal was with it and post a video response when I do, till then I'm afraid it's going to remain a mystery.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalling
This video was taken to show the before and after from installing a new tps (throttle position sensor). The surging and drop of rpm was the symptom for this. NO CODES Perhaps next to install is crankshaft position sensor, or vacuum leak? The stalling only seems to occur mainly from shifting from reverse into drive. Fuel filter was changed a few weeks back.

This absolutely worked!!! Thank you so much, we did this and replaced the rotary cup and it started right up with no issues since - we actually did this with the jeep sitting at the mechanics parking lot. They couldn't believe it, they had given up!
Thank you so much for publishing this!!!!!
Thank you!

Thank you for responding. I did your repair this morning and am very hopeful. My Jeep has more rev and feels much more powerful. The video was so clearly done and your shopping list with pictures was wonderful. Thanks for helping those of us that didn't have a clue-even my mechanic wasn't sure what was going on. Again, you guys are great and I appreciate your professionalism and expertise.
Thanks A*********
This is a video that symulates a problem with 1996-2000 Jeep Cherokees and Wanglers sputtering, dying and sometimes backfiring, sitting still or driving down the road.
We have put this video together to help Jeep owners idenify these problems that there is a solution. If they have already gone through the regular maintance steps. If a tune-up and checking or replacing sensor on the motor (throtle, crank) does not fix the it we have a solution.

We provide you with instructions and videos to guide you through a simple modification that is vary unabrasive and can only help fix the problem. This is something you can do yourself in under and hour.
How to check your crankshaft position sensor on a BMW 740 (e38)
Here I show how to test the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors on a BMW 740i by measuring their coil resistances. You should measure around 500 ohms across the coil pins of the crankshaft position sensor, and roughly 1,000 ohms on the camshaft position sensor coil.
Your E38 will not start unless the DME sees the proper pulse train from the crankshaft position sensor.
The symptoms will be identical to a bad fuel pump.
This is a safety measure to ensure that the fuel being pumped is actually being burned, (inside the cylinders) and not spilling out on the ground after a bad collision, for example.
I should add, as youtuber "Hueristic" pointed out, that this is only for the 95, the Crank position sensor on later models is in a different location near the transmission. You need to get to it from underneath.

99 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 with a bad crank sensor
Had a Dodge R1500, 5.2 come in, no start, when it did finally start it ran rough. I back probed the crank sensor and noticed the signal dropping out and the coil misfiring. After a while it smothed out, I found I could duplicate the condition by wiggling the wires on the crank sensor.
