Greetings and salutations to all Bitogers everywhere - All hail!
So, with my new nifty OBD II code reader, I read the codes on my son-in-law's '96 Buick Century station wagon with the 3.1 V-6
One of the codes that it reported was PO336, Crankshaft position sensor A Circuit.
After a great deal of internet surfing, I've discovered there are no less than two sensors on this car. One lives under the harmonic balancer which must be removed to replace the sensor, (Yikes!).
The second sensor however, escapes me. Auto Zone lists it as do other parts web sites. I think I found where it lives but am not entirely sure. I found a sensor in the bell housing of the transmission on the drivers side of the vehicle, almost directly below the throttle body housing.
Is this the other crank position sensor? Before I go wrenching and yanking, I want to make sure I'm wrenching and yanking the proper parts.
If it so happens someone knows that this is in fact the crank position sensor AND an easy, nifty way to get it out without cursing the automotive gods, please share.
Just as a refresher, this is a 1996 Buick Century Wagon with the 3.1 V-6.
As Doctor Klahn would say: "You have my gratitude."
