Member Credit: EddyMaxx I was getting the following code: P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction This code was causing my car to go into “limp mode” and wouldn’t go over 3500 RPM. Also, don’t confuse this sensor with the Camshaft Position Sensor. The sensor is very easy to change. All you need is a 10MM socket. Symptoms: The Fix: I ordered a sensor from eBay which claimed to be OEM. The part number is 23731-AL60C. While the car started up fine, it still wouldn’t rev over 3500 RPM. Likely a faulty sensor. So I went to my local Advanced Auto and purchased a new one. With the discount code, it came out to $35.00. After
installing the sensor the car started up perfectly and went out of limp mode. I went for a quick drive and code was permanently gone. I’m always about OEM products when it comes to sensors. However, in the case the aftermarket one below work just fine and comes with warranty. Just ensure you keep the receipt.

The crank sensor is located at the bottom center of the engine just below the flywheel area.

I have a 2K3 6 speed, I just replaced the engine, at first I kept getting the p0335 code, but the car would take a long time to start but eventually it would start and run strong. I realized the reason for the code is I mixed up the sockets for the Crank Position with the O2 sensor. After correcting the crossing the car will now start right up but idle like hell for a few seconds and die, I tried pressing the accelerator and that doesn't help. I have an OBD2 scanner and I checked the readings from all the sensors and everything seems to be responding ok. Any ideas? I went through the, Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning Procedure for 2K2+ and the Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning Procedure for 2K2+ still with no luck, any suggestions on where to go from here? If I unplug the crank sensor it runs fine just takes a while to start.
Thanks everyone for your help.
