1998 Oldsmobile 88 P0336 Code: Reappears After 4 Days or 100 Miles of Driving
I own a 1998 Oldsmobile 88 with a 3800 series engine. The vehicle is showing fault code P0336, indicating a crankshaft position sensor issue. I recently replaced the crankcase position sensor, but the code returns consistently: if the car sits for about four days, the code reappears immediately. If cleared and driven approximately 100 miles, it returns again after driving. I have attempted clearing the code six times with no lasting resolution. The vehicle runs smoothly without noticeable misfires, though I occasionally detect a hot exhaust smell. Due to lack of an oscilloscope, I cannot confirm if there are underlying ignition issues. Any insights or troubleshooting steps related to P0336 on this model would be greatly appreciated.
Verify the electrical circuit integrity of the crankshaft position sensor and its wiring harness. Refer to common causes and solutions for P0336 in this forum for detailed guidance.
