I removed the wire from the crank angle sensor and the sensor came loose. There's two sensors. One sensor broke on the side where it attaches to the block. It still stays in place cause of the bracket that holds the two together. But you can move it forward and back. Will this cause any problems with a loose sensor. I notice it's magnetic. Not really sure how the systems works, but i think i might have to replace it, if it suppose to use magnetic forces to the crank angle plate. It might loose connection from vibration. What do you think? Should i glue it back in place, or will it be ok how it is?

The crank angle sensors can be a nightmare- they become brittle with age, then break, then cause your car not to run. I would recommend replacing them both- We have several in stock- PM me if you would like an estimate-



Thanks-

They have a pretty tight clearance, if they are free to move at all there is a very good chance your ignition system will have issues. I would replace.
