so i was driving and all of a sudden my check gauges light comes on. never had that happen before and my car started bogging like crazy. when i hit the gas hardly anything would happen and it seemed louder than normal. then after a minute, it went back to normal and ran ok. got to the gas station and hooked a scanner up to it and threw a crankshaft position sensor performance code. (im not sure if it threw that code before because no check engine light was coming on, i just scanned it out of curiosity.)
never had this happen before, suggestions?
My car did something crazy like that once on my way somewhere in michigan. Except the low power light came on and everything, I have no f'n clue to this day what the hell that was. Pulled over, turned it off for a minute and it was fine. No damn clue. And btw, does everyone just have a scanner with them when they're driving around?!
Well if it doesn't do it again... don't worry about it. If it does, maybe you'll want to change your sensors. The crankshaft position sensor is not so fun. But maybe some crap got in there and f'd with the magnets a bit. Wait, are those even magnets in the sensors?
when your "Check gauges" light comes on, you're supposed to check the 4 gauges at the bottom of your cluster; they are the oil pressure, temp., voltmeter and gas gauge. Do you happen to remember what they were reading?
Just bought 99 firebird, 53k all original, very clean ride, I'm going to do lots of suspension upgrades, sub frame connectors, panhard, lower control...
Just bought 99 V6 firebird, 43k original miles, one owner, basically new car, no issues
