On the EGS, I got the 150 error when my ecu stopped getting a reading from the crankshaft position sensor. In the context I was dealing with, my understanding is that the 150 error was a result of...

Bluebee, you've got an m54 now, right? Here are some great photos of an immaculate, out-of-the-car block and where the CKP goes.

FWIW, I just went through this. I couldn't find an experience like mine already documented here, so this is more for posterity than anything else.

It's been my experience that people don't typically disclose how young they are except out of insecurity. Keep it like your Saturday nights; don't ask/don't tell.

I appreciate the replies, sadly it was a moot point.

By the time you get the motor out and tear it down to the crank, well, you might as well just put in a lower-mileage used motor instead.

I just went through a bunch of stuff with my ckp. When the new sensor didn't help, I *assumed* that there was a break in the wiring somewhere.

The CKP is new; it's the first thing I tried. My best guess now is the ECU or the output speed sensor in the atf pan.

Near as I can tell, the fittings (on mine, at least) are identical.

I figure (foolish hope?) that if I've gotten it wrong, the leak detector will trigger codes, thus halting the fuel pump.

Good for you for coming back with a solution.

So often, someone shows up with a problem, but never comes back to let us know what the solution was.
