Hey everyone.. I am new and was wondering if someone could help me. I have a 2001 SLS and it will randomly stall wile I am driving it. Also it idles ruff (might be part of the same problem)

Thanks for your help

Stalling and cut -out when the engine is warm and sometimes hard restarting. Sounds like the crank sensors, replace them both. The rough running might be the sensors too or throttle body coking.

Ok thanks a lot... now I do have experience working on cars but never a crank sensor.. Where is this at and how much work is involved in changing it?

Thanks for the quick response!

I found this..http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...placement.html (Northstar Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor replacement)
couldnt find the one with pictures... The one I found talks about have to use a special computer to reprogram the sensors or something like that.. I dont have any kinda special computer.. just a normal set of tools.. Can i still do this?

Thanks
