Default Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Question

Alright, I got the old crank sensor out and repaired the brittle, bare wires.
Problem now is, where it mounts seems floppy and loose. Found all kinds of stuff on a D2 but nothing on a '98. Thought it was moving around before I removed it but didn't think much of it at the time. Was cussing too much.

So it's a hoar sensor...... but I also don't quite understand the dilemma either....... is it the cover that's loose, the sensor, the collar......?

Ya got me. 😳😳

Before I got the shield and sensor off they seemed loose and of ill repute. Nonetheless I tied a 2x4 to my posterior and carried on.

I could grab the wires and move the shield, sensor, and collar. Seems like the collar/mounting plate needs tightening.

It's only rated at 4 ft/lbs (6 Nm) of torque. That's not gonna snug anything up much. Granted it's a crappy design with only one bolt holding the sensor/collar and the other holding the cover to the collar.

What holds the collar to the block? Or am I missing something?

Missing something, can you remount the 2X4 and take a pic?

Where did the 2x4 come in?


I replaced my CKPS on my 96 a few times and both bolts were going through the shield, through the spacer/collar and then through the sensor to the bolt holes. This is also true of the 2 CKPS sensors I have done for a 98 as well. If it is loose mounted this way, something else is wrong or the sensor is not in far enough for the bolts to properly hold everything together.
