HELP removing Eccentric shaft position sensor
#10
I tried to get at mine yesterday ( I have an '07 6MT), and discovered that it's not an "open" type of ESPS sensor; There's some sort of wide metal shroud covering it. I've searched the forums, googled it, and can't find anything about how to remove this other type of ESPS sensor. Has anyone else come across this type before?

basically 2004 & 2005 are U-shaped, 2006+ are fully enclosed
I'd recommend some anti-seize on the sensor body of the fully enclosed mounts. Have seen them corrode and get stuck due to dissimilar metal contact and road salt spray getting in there between them.
(edit: now you know why it won't come out, you will have to force it and likely damage the sensor in the process)

This sounds like a somewhat difficult tuning project with possible complications...I'm gonna bump this down the tuning to-do list...to figure out why my engine loses power after 30mins of highway cruising at 80mph on 90 degree, humid days. Going in for a compression test tomorrow, to nip that in the bud.

You remove the bolt that holds it in place. The bolt is on the bottom side, it has to be removed from underneath the car

Does the fully enclosed type of sensor even need to be cleaned, since it's fully enclosed? How could it get dirty? Did anyone find that this type was actually dirty after removing it?

Yes, no matter how it's attached to the engine. The side pointing to the excentric shaft position plate attracts all kind of dirt, especially ferromagnetic stuff like metal. You dont have to bolt it off the car .. just clean between the position plate and the sensor (degreaser and a blow with compressed air and wipe with a rag is all u need).
I recommend cleaning the connector of the sensor when ur at it with contact cleaner and protect it with some H2Off or similar stuff.

Just out of curiosity, I tried to find a pic of an 'enclosed' ESS and couldn't find one.
Does someone have a pic or link to one?

Thanks Travis.
Does it have a different bracket from the older one?
