1998 Suzuki Sidekick - replaced Crank angle sensor, won't start

I was having problem with my vehicle, where it would cut off while running. A friend put his computer on it and said that I needed to change the Camshaft position Sensor (crank angle sensor. I purchased the part online (not cheap), and we swapped them. The vehicle will not start. If we put the old one back in, it will start, but will cut off. Any help would be appreciated especially cause this is my wife's ride.

Thanks.

hi,
spark plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, or fuel pump might be getting ready to go. maybe a vacuum leak, hook it up to a vacuum gauge and see if the needle is steady, or take it to autozone and have them run a OBD test. I think its free at autozone.

SOURCE: I want to know if

NO, the engine is an overhead camshaft the rocker arms ride directly on the camshaft so their is no need for a lifter, by the way the valve lash should be .003-.005 of an inch.

SOURCE: Where is the camshaft position sensor located 2001

Yes would give those very symptoms. Unsure about location...either fitted to look onto front crankshaft pulley or fitted on bellhousing area to look onto rear flywheel.

1996 Suzuki sidekick 1.8L engine

The 1.8 is a J18 engine. On all Suzuki J engines, the crank position sensor is under the flywheel/flex plate. Yes, that will require pulling the engine or transmission. BUT the electrical connector to it is under the intake above the starter. So you can troubleshoot the system without pulling the motor. :) With this engine, the crank sensor is only used for miss-fire detection but will throw a code if bad.

Suzuki swift gti 1996 starts but cuts out after 5 seconds

When starting/cranking, computer will activate fuel relay so that it will start. Once running there are fail safes built in - no oil pressure, bad signal from crank angle sensor or throttle position sensor, crash sensor activated (stops fuel pump) or even immobilizer faulty. Will it idle with Mass Air Flow sensor unplugged? Could be a broken wire or bad connector. Hope you have found problem by now! An auto electrician will find it very quickly.

The ignition coils are the usual culprit, they fail when hot, sometimes the module itself is bad, you need an Ignition specialist here, don't Shotgun (Replace parts till it runs)

SUZUKI LIANA 2002 ENGINE CUTTING OUT INTERMITTANTLY

Not sure if you have already figured this out- or just sold your car, but I have been having the same problem and had a bit of a search around forums etc. Looks like it is the Crank Angle Sensor which needs to be replaced. I am about to go and get my car fixed so fingers crossed this is the miracle cure. Here is a link to the forum discussion on the issue.
