0001294 Dealer Repair Information

The engine may crank ok, but may be difficult to start.  A trouble code 
of P0335 (Crankshaft Position Sensor) will be stored in the PCM memory.

Inspect the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) air gap .020-.059in (.5-
1.5mm). The bracket holding the CPS may have been bent during A/C
installation.

Do not replace the CPS sensor if the air gap is incorrect as per the WSM

(page F1-47 and F2-47), ADJUST THE AIR GAP BY BENDING THE BRACKET
SLIGHTLY TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT GAP.
