Speed/Reference Sensor Testing Help

[9fourteen]

Got them out. They slid right out. Barely had to work them at all. Just used my hands. They were probably out when they did the clutch about 8 months ago so they hadn't seized up yet.



I noticed on the one being used as the speed sensor it had a dent on the top edge on one side. Clearance problem? Kind of hard to see in the image but here is a picture of it. Do you think I should check the bracket clearance?






The reference sensor continues to test up correctly. I was able to test it directly connected to the sensor. The reason why it wasn't working for me before was I was looking at the pins in reverse. I don' t know if my bracket is upside down but my connectors are the opposite of what is shown on Clark's page. I figured it out when I looked at the keyed part of the connector. The speed sensor continues to be dead.

Both need to be working properly. (well, technically, the speed sensor could be partially working and the tach might still bounce - assuming a good reference sensor)

My old sensors tested within range but I think the magnets were just tired. The car came right back to life upon replacement.

Replaced both sensors and it fired right up.

Awesome. Glad to hear your car is fixed.

Running, not sure if I would say fixed yet. This car is far from perfect and needs sorted out. I'm starting a list of things that need done. I just started a new thread for the next issue, engine is making a clicking sound.
