2012 Acura TL
I saw another post that says it is located near the timing belt. I am seeing a sensor by the oil filter next to the Crankshaft Pulley.
Could mine possibly be different? TY.

 

 

 

No, that is the oil pressure switch, the crankshaft position sensor is behind the timing belt cover i believe and should look like this https://www.oemacuraparts.com/oem-pa...or-37500r40a01

 

This all started with the serpentine belt splitting and getting chewed up.
I replaced and it happened again.
I looked deeper and found pieces wound around the inside of the pulley.
I removed them with an angled pick but now the crankshaft turns but there is no spark. It just whirs from spinning. Ideas?

 

New battery.

Is the oil pressure light staying on?

 

It won't start. Can't build pressure.

 

No ECU codes. OBD2.

 

It should build pressure just cranking. It won't start if the light is on. That's a safety protocol.

 

Please tell me this model is a non-interference engine.

 

Both the J35 and J37 are interference engines. A simple search here and you could have found that out.

 

Ruh-roh...

 

When you say Serpentine belt, are you talking about the belt that drives your alternator and AC compressor? The one you can see when you open the hood? Tearing it up will just cause you to lose the alternator charging and the AC. The car will still run until the battery dies.

If you chewed up the timing belt, you may have killed the engine. The timing belt is under the timing belt covers, so which belt are we talking about before we discuss interference engines?

 

I just got the crankshaft bolt off. Timing belt looks ok. Going to have to remove and replace the plastic cover.

 

This is called big luck, go buy a lottery ticket!
Where does all this dirt come from? Are you an off-road conqueror?

 

A mile down.
