p0336 crankshaft position sensor code
I got a p0336 code during a long road trip. This is the only time I have ever seen this code on this vehicle, a 2001 buick regal with 230K miles. I haven't noticed any performance problems. It now has gone another 1500 miles after I cleared the code, but I am worried that it could recur and possibly cause a stall, so I am thinking about replacing the crankshaft position sensor.
Has anyone done this on this vehicle? Is it a DIY job, or do you need special tools? Any pitfalls or hints?
