Best Crankshaft Position Sensors
A failing crankshaft position sensor causes no-start, stalling, and P0335 codes. It's a critical sensor that tells the ECM when to fire spark plugs and injectors.
What to look for
- Exact OEM replacement — crankshaft sensors are precisely calibrated to the reluctor wheel
- Heat resistance — sensors near the crank are exposed to extreme temperatures
- Quality brands — Denso, Standard Motor Products, Holstein are proven
- Air gap specification — some sensors require precise spacing from the reluctor wheel
Our picks
Denso CKP Sensor
OEM-quality with precise calibration and heat-resistant construction
Standard Motor PC155 CKP Sensor
Reliable aftermarket with OEM-equivalent performance
Holstein 2CRK0066 Sensor
Good value replacement with heat-resistant design

- Clean the reluctor wheel and sensor mounting area during replacement
- Some sensors are inside the timing cover — check accessibility before purchase
- Verify the new sensor fixes the no-start condition before buttoning everything up
