any idea what the CEL code means?

got it checked at AutoZone (which many will say it was probably a mistake, but whatever)

the CEL is throwing this code

"Crankshaft position sensor a CKT range"


wth does this mean?

Have you done any modifications... specifically any pulley upgrades?

Eccentric shaft sensor had a cow....reset it and it probably won't come back. Mine did it a few times when I stalled the car after a spin at the track

Disconnect battery to reset ECU


Turn on key...pump brake pedal until the oil pressure gauge sweeps..takes 20+ pumps in rapid succession that resets the ESS

Ignition on or off? When I turned the car on a second ago the CEL was gone? I have not done anything but drive up to autozone to get the diagnosis....??

remove neg battery cable....push brake pedal 3-4 times...reconnect battery cable

Turn on ignition......pump brake pedal 20+ times until the oil pressure gauge sweeps..turn off key....and start the engine.

Your DSC light will be on...turn wheel left all the way and then right to reset and then restart car...all the lights should be out..and good to go

Often CELs will reset themselves if they aren't hard codes...The scanner will show them as pending....
