I need to change the crankshaft position sensor in a 2003 2.4L but dont want to remove the timing belt to do it. I figured i could just cut the wires on the new one then recrimp them together after instalation. Would this affect the sensor or is it a bad idea?

 

Do it right or take it to someone that will do it right.

 

I got it taken care of. I didnt have to cut anything. I just pulled the pins out of the wireing harness, passed the wires behind the belt, then re-inserted the pins. Now i just have to put everything back on the car.

 

Good job!
