hmm, I thought the crank sensor was passenger side... oh well, shows what I
get for thinking! :) the hall effect is simple, pop off the dist cap, then
take off the rotor, pick up the plastic plate, unhook it from the harness
and install new one..

-After I did some reading, I found that a bad CPS and Hall Effect
-pickup wont
-necessarily throw out a fault code for the computer to store. Maybe this is
-why the scan tool didnt pick up any fault codes? Who knows. I surely dont.
-
-What should I attempt to replace first........Crankshaft Position
-Sensor($38.99) or the Magnetic Pickup "Coil", aka Hall Effect
-Sensor($34.99). The Hall Effect or magnetic pickup sensor is under the
-distributor cap and when under the rotor, correct? How is this part held
-onto the distributor? How hard or easy is this to replace?
-
-The CPS is on the driver's side rear most part on the engine, but where
-abouts is it really at? Is it better or easier to remove/replace
-it from the
-engine bay area or will I need to get under my truck to replace it? Does it
-use torx type bolts? My Hayne's manual says I need to remove the EGR valve
-and EGR lines, hoses, oil pressure sending unit, and many other items. Holy
-cow is this all really needed to get to the CPS?? On my truck the EGR valve
-is onthe passenger's side of the engine, but I thought the CPS is on the
-driver's side.
-
-Or should I just leave this two parts alone and take my truck into the
-garage and see what they tell me is wrong?..........whimper now.....sighing
-now........help!
