Crank Position Sensor / Reluctor Ring I get an error code for the Crank position sensor PO336, I have replaced the sensor and the same thing. When I have the sensor out and stick my finger in there the reluctor ring has movement/play to it front to back. This doesn't seem normal to me, can someone help me here before I rip the front of the motor apart to take a look?
What were you doing that caused the code? Did this just happen all at once or have you been having any driving issues? I got the same code and it was the connector/wiring was frayed and causing issues. The reluctor ring is sandwhiched between the timing crank gear and the hub, so I would check the hub to make sure it's tight as well.
Not to scare you but I had that code a long time ago. New sensor didn't change anything. Checked the hub bolt and it was at 74 ft.lbs. Shortly afterwords I got a P0300, one of the rivets holding the pointer on the cap and rotor was busted.

I will recheck the hub and make sure it is on all the way, but there is definitely play in the reluctor ring. I bought the car and it had issues and I have never seen it run perfect yet, so I'm still working through kinks. The opti is new, so I would HOPE that's not the issue, but as always you can't rule out the opti-crap.
Any other tips are much appreciated, thanks guys and I will keep you posted!
