Re: 90 astro 4.3 crank sensor

You're welcome.

There are not to many people even looking at this board any more.

Pickup coil testing:

500 to 1500 ohms between terminals.

Infinite from one terminal to ground.

When testing the pick-up coil resistance, the key should be off, and the pickup coil should be unplugged from the distributor module.

Inspect the magnetic material on the reluctor that moves inside the inner points of the pick-up coil to see if it is cranking into pieces. It should be one part

NOTE: Being that your truck is injecting fuel that shows the computer is getting a pulse from the pick-up coil. That pretty much rules out a problem with the pick-up coil or magnetic material breaking down.

If it in fact it injects fuel when there is no spark then look at the distributor module, distributor cap and rotor, or the coil & coil wire. Just because the parts are newer does not mean they are good parts. I can't stress enough how bad the quality of new parts is now.

Did you give the model, year, engine, fuel system type, and transmission information?
If it is modified from what came stock from the factory, let us know that too.
