The CPS does not affect driveability
The typical functions of a camshaft sensor are to monitor the speed of a crankshaft and what position it is in. It is used in an internal combustion engine and determines the RPM.
the cranshaft and camshaft position sensor. the engine speed and cranshaft position information is supplied frome a sensor which is usually situated at the front or rear of the cranshaft.note that distributor-located engine speed sensor are generally being replaced with cranshaft-located sensors,as worn disributor drives and associated components can effect the accuracy of the engine speed signal. A camshaft position sensor,or cylinder identification sensor is used to determin the engine cycle position the information is used to provide individual cylinder ignition and injection cotrol.Many engine management systems use an inductive type of sensor that is located near the camshaft;when the camshaft rotates a single signal is passed to the ECU to indicate a reference point in the engine cycle.Some system manufactures may use a Hall effect-type sensor.
No, the crank sensor reads crankshaft speed. The cam sensor reads camshaft speed. The cam sensor is on the distributor on a 1999 2.5L
Yes, a camshaft sensor and a camshaft position sensor refer to the same component in an engine. This sensor monitors the position and rotational speed of the camshaft, providing critical data to the engine control unit (ECU) for optimal timing of fuel injection and ignition. While the terms may be used interchangeably, some manufacturers may prefer one term over the other.
Yes, the 1996 Pontiac Firefly is equipped with both a crankshaft position sensor and a camshaft position sensor. The crank sensor monitors the position and speed of the crankshaft, while the cam sensor does the same for the camshaft, helping the engine control module manage fuel injection and ignition timing. These sensors are crucial for the engine's performance and efficiency.
No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
The ignition timing is not adjustable. It is controled by the computer and is a result of inputs from several sensors including TPS (throttle position sensor) and map (manifold absolute pressure) or maf (mass airflow sensor) and engine speed from the crankshaft position sensor and engine position from the camshaft position sensor.
idler sensor!
those had a problem with a vehicle speed sensor but your throttle position sensor can do it too
Your throttle plate may be sticking, a good cleaning may solve the problem. It could also be the throttle position sensor, or maf sensor.
if it's like my 2002 it has a service engine code light on with a speed sensor code.it doesn't have a speed sensor, it means you need to check plugs/wires/or the electronic assy.itself.my problem was the plugs.
is the crankshaft position sensor the same and the engine speed sensor
