crankshaft position sensor error?
alrighty, I have a 95 f150 5.8 that I updraded to a 96 computer /w maf + all the other goodies obd2 needs.
Well I am getting an o2 error, probably because I do not have a cat o2 sensor installed. I am also getting an crankshaft position sensor error. Any ideas on why I would be getting that? I mean the sensor is in the distributor isn't it?
Not only that, the error comes and goes. Sometimes it is there, right when I start the truck, and other times it isn't and never comes on.
Now my truck isn't road worthy yet, so I have only had it running in my driveway, but I either get both codes or none at all. I am stumped.
Any help would be appreciated.

Crankshaft means crankshaft. The newer truck must have a mount down near the damper. Here's a little bit of info I found.

From reading that, you may need a special damper with pickup lobes on it.

o2 sensor if you plan on not running a cat con and need the thing to make the comp.
happy. But my thinking is that you got a bunk wire and I would try smacking it abit
and see if it will fix, then make the code happen after a few smacks to different parts
of the harness/computer/sensor
