2004 Crossfire starting problem fixed

This sensor fixed my 2004 Crossfire 3.2L V6 starting problem! I am 43 years old and this part was very easy to install myself. My problems started after I drove into town one day. When I tried to start the car to get home, it kept overturning but wouldn't start. I waited a few minutes and thankfully it started up again. When I got home I parked the car and tried to start it and again it kept turning but wouldn't start. The next morning when the engine was cold it started right away, but after the engine warmed up I had the same problem: it cranked but wouldn't start. I didn't want to wait for the check engine light to come on, so I started doing some research. After reading on the Crossfire forum that several others had the same issue I decided to buy this part and my car has been running great since I replaced this sensor. It took me less than 15 minutes to remove the old sensor and replace it with the new one. Luckily I have small hands so I could easily reach where it was. Who knows how much the mechanic would have asked me or how many more parts they would have told me I need. I am delighted that what I thought would be a major and expensive challenge turned out to be such an easy and inexpensive solution and I am very happy with my purchase.
