most shops don't "check" timing belts. they go off of the mileage and past service history. We personally use carfax and our own records if its a returning customer. if the car has 100,000 miles and no past records saying the timing belt was replaced, we recommend doing it. timing belts are a maintenance item. Thats most likely what the dealership did. Its pretty clear you don't run your business like a normal shop and thats fine, you seem to do very well. But dealerships and shop make they're money on stuff like this. They get customers in for oil changes and do an inspection then sell work off of the inspection. Only problem with that is *some* shops take advantage of stuff like this and sell work that doesn't really need to be done.

This is why wiring diagrams and spec's are very important. You need to start trusting your instincts more. I have seen it before when teaching friends. Trust yourself. If you know and proved it's not a "fuel pump" had the inclination it's something else. Find the spec's and wiring diagrams and pin out charts. And do the proper diagnostics yourself. At least you will know it's done and done right. I have seen it so many times when vehicles been diagnosed somewhere else and usually it's a problem with something they skipped over real quick and missed the problem. The biggest thing is to trust your instincts. - added note. Sometimes the part brand matters. Not always but once in a while. Usually it deals with particular vehicles. Stay warm.

Diagnosis is hard and parts are (often) cheaper. Kudos to you for working under cold weather without any heating.

So....you didn't diagnose it either? If you diagnose it, backprobe sensors, monitor the wave forms, live data, see what/when/where the signal drops out, measure resistance between sensor and ECM then you know for sure what the issue is. What if the sensor is producing a good signal but its dropping off between the sensor and the ECM? If there's an intermittent short or open in the harness? High resistance in the harness? Or the ECM is bad? Or the timing is off? Or bad timing belt/chain tensioner? Stretched timing chain or belt? If the timing isnt correct, the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors wont correlate and you can get a code for both. if its a VRT sensor, an alternator with a bad diode can introduce excessive AC ripple which can interfere with or corrupt the signal. It can literally be a hundred things and if you diagnose it as a sensor and it turns out that it needs an ECM, then guess who eats the cost of an ECM?

Often, they not only don't fix the problem, even simple, obvious repairs, they cause more problems.

You shouldn't use screw types anyway. Coolant hoses have spring clips for a reason. As the hose gets hot it expands and so the clip needs to expand too. Spring clips do that, screw clips don't. They dig into the hose and split it.

I've been watching you work and you are a smart young man. I think you might benefit from some of the awp bags and knee pad from home depot.

If they say it's the fuel pump when it will not start then just cycle the key and listen for the pump to prime for a couple seconds or hook a fuel pressure gauge up. On a side note, crank sensors have been known to fail after the engine has been warmed up then shut off for 5-10 minutes, and then won't work until the engine cools down fully or quite a bit. When you first shut the engine off, there is actually a short time period where the underhood temperature goes up before the engine starts cooling off, called a hot soak. This is especially true in hot summer days with high heat and humidity. I have actually seen this on a few vehicles.

Haters gonna hate! You do good work!

Funny when the sensor came out and that car was backing up it sounded like an applause 😂

My dads F-150 70k miles was making noise, he took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it, “fixed it” for $700 dollars. Not even 5 miles from the dealership it made the noise again. It cost him another $400. Then it worked. Dealership claimed the $700 and the $400 needed to be replaced. We have a feeling they didn’t want to return the money for the original misdiagnose and maintenance cost and the $400 dollar fix would have worked by itself.

One dealer was so stubborn they made the mistake to offer to diag the car again with me watching. Then when I wheeled a newer diag computer and hand held they said their machine is down but didn't offer to let me check with my machines with their person nearby incase I missed something.

It would take just a few seconds to scope the current to the fuel pump to test bit which is far more effective than looking at pressures also to use live data and o2 data to determine if it was a fuel issue or fuel control issue. Also, I’ve had 3 parts in a row that were absolutely bad. That is why I do not use dorman parts. I’d recommend scannerdanner premium and scannerdanners book if you want to learn how to prove things instead of guessing.

Can your elaborate on your diagnostic process following discovering the crank sensor DTC? You state you discovered the DTC and decided to replace both the crank sensor and camshaft sensor. How did you determine the problem wasn't with the electrical circuits from the sensor to the engine control module, oe the control module, or the power and grounds to the engine control module? Do you even have a scan tool to monitor crank sensor and cam sensor signals during cranking? You could have also test drove with scan tool and monitored crank sensor rpm and see if it dropped off when vehicle stalls. If you are simply replacing parts based upon the DTC set you are simply a parts changer and not "diagnosing" anything and shouldn't be criticizing anyone despite the outcome of the repair.. This practice will come back and bite you. You seem like a good guy but need to get the necessary training. You are on the right path. Good luck.
