So i have a 1993 Buick Skylark v6 3.3l and i am not getting any spark. so i changed out the ignition control module and the coil packs and am still getting no spark. Which leads me to believe its the CPS so how do i go about replacing the sensor. thanks

That Crank Sensor requires a $600 tool to install so instead of throwing parts at it why don't you spend $5 for a noid light and check for injector pulse. If you have injector pulse, you can eliminate the crank sensor.

The crank sensor is mounted just above and a little to the side of the harmonic balancer. Sounds like you are on the right track.

You should take his posts for what they are..... The guy is trying to help you & save you some $$$$$$.
The tool you are inquiring about was/is made by Kent Moore I believe & it's sole purpose in life was to set the air gap on the crank sensor because it's a blind fit & it's around $600. Recently some companys started making sensors with no setting that bolt on. Sounds like you got lucky & got one of those because there are still some adjustable ones out there.
The man has a lot of knowledge, if ya work with him, he'll help ya get your ride going.... If you want to argue with him......well...........

Thanks Sidom
I just hope he has solved his problem before getting so rude with the people trying to help him. I doubt he will see much help from here on. .

Glad you are all fixed up. The apology worked wonders as I was about to go postal on YOU. Hammer and Loren probably forgot yesterday more than I ever knew so you had the best of the web for free at your beck and call.
All be calm - this site is free and not begging which speaks loudly for integrity IMO!
