Default How to Check a Crank Position Sensor?

Like the title says, I have been having a misfire, a good spark, a fouling of spark plugs and lastly even some detonation on certain sparkplugs. I have changed wires, spark plugs (twice due to fouling and detonating), o2 sensors, Pcms, got injectors cleaned and even got coils! I am now thinking it might be a crank sensor (crossing my fingers AGAIN!!). So I pulled my CPS out and now I want to check and see if it works, so how do I do that, I have a volt meter so if you know let me know exactly how. I would appreciate it, THANKS

I'd try a CASE learn on it first.

If either the cam or crank sensor are bad they should be throwing codes...

Would any of those 2 sensors cause my symptoms?

Anyone?

I changed the crank and o2 sensors with the same results!
