The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) has failed once at 30,000 and once at 50,000 miles on my 1998 Ford Explorer. Had it towed to the dealer twice. Was fixed the first time under warranty, the second time was $1000. Ford would not fix it free the second time. How often can one part like this fail? My next car will not be Ford, that's for sure.

The engine will start but will not idle or run without holding the gas pedal down a bit.
