My R32 Broke Down Because of One Dead Sensor

Crank position sensor failure is common on VR6 engines. The crankshaft position sensor died on my R32 while I was stopped at the drive through. In this video I show you how the crank sensor works, how the crank sensor fails, and of course how to fix a bad crank sensor. There is a quick way to diagnose a failure of the crank sensor that I will cover too.
