Q: Does the crankshaft sensor have to be calibrated before putting into your vehicle

asked by on

After driving all day when I'm stopped at a light, my engine to stutter and feels like it wants to shut off my rpm jump up and down like if I'm revving my engine.

My car has 200000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

You will need to have the crankshaft sensor relearned in the computer using a scanner and also checked for further codes that will need to be diagnosed.
