Sign In Mark as Helpful I have a 1994 mitsubishi Galant. First off it was runing fine besides the loud squeeling noise especially when I would turn on the A/C.. I was told that I'm going to be needing a water pump because it was going out. A friend starting taking it apart to fix the water pump, however he did not get that far before realizeing that he may not be able to finish the job. At this pint all he has taken off is the A/C compressor and belt The parts by the alternator. The first top belt you first see. And so he put that back on an now the car doesnt start at all. I gave it a jump ( long jump) an it finally turns over but still does not start. Lights and radio comes on but just turns over an thats it. Then later goes back dead again .

Sign In The connecter I was thinking about was on the left side near the top of the timing cover but just look all around that area and make sure nothing is disconnected....... It's better to respond to you post rather than a pm.......you'll get help a lot quicker in most cases.... Lots of good techs onboard here. Cajungirl New User Oct 11, 2010, 9:27 PM Post #4 of 5 (1624 views) Re: HELP!!! Sign In Found the sensor and nothing was plugged into it. Where does the female part lead to? Does it go into a harness or the distributer? Sidom Veteran / Moderator Oct 11, 2010, 10:16 PM Post #5 of 5 (1621 views) Re: HELP!!! Sign In Just look at the harnesses real good. More than likely the connector got twisted and is behind a loom or is hanging somewhere else... If it's the crank sensor the input goes to the PCM (computer)   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
