i INSTALLED THE TIMING SPROKETS UPSET DOWN AND IT SEEMS TO CRANK AND RUN NOW, HOWEVER I STILL HAVE A MISS TO IT AND WILL POST MORE LATER. I ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE IF YOU NEED ANY.
there is no timing belt sensor, only camshaft position sensors and crankshaft position sensor.
there is no " timing belt " sensor, but there are 2 sensors that control the timing. One is the crankshaft sensor and the other one is the camshaft sensor.
The ECM controls the timing with information sent to it from sensors such as the crank sensor and the knock sensor.
The crank sensor is used by the ECM to determine timing. However, if the sensor is not working, the ECM determines the same things from the inputs of other sensors for timing. The net is that the sensor amounts to a redundancy, allowing the ECM to determine appropriate timing more quickly than without it.
no there is one cam sensor one crank sensor i changed both the code is the same for both . it reads camshaft postioning sensor. ...my car was hard to start ran good sometimes then bad. cam sensor code kept coming up changed cranksensor it turned outto be the timing chain . dirty oil cloged ports . the timing runs on oil pressure. timing chain streched . had to replace but two micanics hundreds of dollars over a cam code . no code for timimg chain
You cant. Timing is controlled my crankshaft position sensor and other sensors that monitor air flow and engine load. The PCM is ultimatley responsible for timing control by reading sensor input values.
You don't. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor along with other computer components and sensors set the timing automatically. If you have spark timing issues, then you have computer, sensor, or wiring issues. Chris
The critical piece of information is missing from the original question: which sensor of the dozens of sensors in the typical Taurus / Sable
most crank sensors are for engine timing with the cam shaft, the distributor on at least 97' dodge and newer controls fuel timing.
depends on the sensor .your question has to have more detail to it .Due to there is all kinds of sensors such as, temp sensor,knock sensor,o2 sensor,iac sensor,map sensor,idle air control sensor,mass air flow sensor,shift control sensors,transmission sensors,coolant sensors,hell there is even brake sensors and rear end sensors,some even have body sensors.
Probably one of your wheel speed sensors
The timing on the 96 SS cannot be adjusted by the owner. Timing is a function of the PCM and inputs from the optispark and crank position sensor. The timing is continually monitored and adjusted based on driving conditions and whether or not the "Knock sensors" are reading a knock condition at which time the PCM will retard the timing to prevent engine damage. This can be altered somewhat by changing the sensitivity od the sensors by modifing their circuits ot by substituting a LS4 knock sensor.
