I changed my clutch and flywheel to exedy and fidenza and then put it back together and now the crank sensor doesnt read the flywheel, is that a common problem? anyone else have that problem?

it seems to take along time for the car to start! Im thinking its the crank sensor?

 

Mileage??

 

If youre mileage is up there the crank sensor or cam sensor may be going bad. I believe your OBD should throw a code the these though.

Other areas to check would be battery or starter.

 

I had this exact problem, most likely you didnt line up the flywheel properly.

You have to pull the tranny again and set the flywheel to the correct timing. Or if you think you did, pull the CAS and have someone spin the crank on the front of the engine and see if you have the timing correct. If you do, then the CAS might be bad.

See this:

Note the angle notch is about 45 degrees clockwise of "up" when looking from the front, and the picture shown of the clutch is taken from the bottom with the FRONT of the car being the TOP. Make sure you get this right or you will have to pull your tranny again. The 2 notch rule will apply with every application, and you can see it and count through the hole with the sensor out without pulling the tranny.

My symptoms were: Takes 5 seconds of cranking to start, jump when accelerating around 1800 rpm's, and if i unplugged the CAS, there was no change in behavior (aka the sensor was being shut off or ignored by the ECU). PM me with any questions, i went though this once and i will never make the mistake again.
