Hi,

Here are the directions for replacing the sensor. Take a look through them to see if you missed anything. However, chances are you didn't.

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.

NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is level, because engine oil will drip out when you remove the sensor.

2. Remove the CKP sensor cover (A).

3. Disconnect the CKP sensor connector (B).

4. Remove the CKP sensor (C).

5. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with a new O-ring (D).

Now, let me know the exact code you found. It may point me in a different direction for a cause. As far as the sensor, is the vehicle still running okay?

Let me know.
