You need the codes reading but the symptoms do fit :y

You need to fit a genuine Crank Sensor... Nothing else is reliable ;) It's not uncommon for pattern sensors to fail from new ::)

Third time lucky.

There's a maintenance guide on here which highlights problems associated with incorrect crank sensors.

I hope you're getting your money back from all of these copy parts.  ;) ;) ;) Bite the bullet & buy one from your local fiendish Caddy/GM dealer  ;) ;) It'll be cheaper & easier in the end.  :y :y
