Has anyone had one go out before? My car woundn't crank yesterday after I got off work. Didn't throw any codes. Checked for fuel and found fuel. Checked for spark and it didn't have any spark. Then it all of a sudden had spark. Ran it home and it ran fine and this morning it wouldn't start. So after work today I got a CKS. Come home and messed around with it and then finally it started. Then I put the sensor in and let it sit for 4.5hrs. And it started fine. But I am thinking if it isn't this then it is either the engine harness or the PCM. Thanks.

NM on the previous post.I just read another post and remembered what it was.I had a bad diode in the altenator that was throwing a cam sensor code.

chances are pretty good you found the problem. A little oil intrusion can make them go intermittent. the alternator is a less likely candidate at cranking speeds, as it doesn't produce much voltage at the RPM level... we owned a T-bird (4.6) that developed this problem, and saw another one where the crank sensor was bad.
