The onboard computer senses the position of the crankshaft by monitoring the output from the crankshaft position sensor. With that information, and the input from other sensors, the computer can determine appropriate injector duration, ignition timing, EGR valve operation and transmission shift points.
It is used by the PCM to determines fuel and spark timing
The 1998 Saturn SL2 will show a code 340 and 341 for a camshaft position sensor because this part is also considered the crankshaft position sensor on the Saturn. The location of the crankshaft position sensor is behind the alternator on a 1998 Saturn SL2. Both crankshaft and camshaft are the same thing This vehicle is not equipped with a camshaft position sensor. Saturn is the only manufacture that uses a auto pulse generated inside the ignition control module in conjunction with the pulse received from the crankshaft position sensor to determine ignition and injection timing. If you have a code for camshaft position sensor the issue is with the pulse generator in the ignition control module.
The 1997 dodge ram doesn't have adjuastable timing if the. The timing is controled by a crankshaft sensor near the transmission bell housing and a cam position sensor in the distributor. the cam position sensor is uned mostly for fuel injection syncronization. The crankshaft position sensor mainly controls ignition timing and is not moveable/adjustable.
The crankshaft position sensor is located behind the timing cover and above the crankshaft gear. the timing belt my have to be removed to access the bolts on the sensor.
The timing sensor is called a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). It is located at the 10 O'Clock positon on the crankshaft pulley.
yes
Before you replace timing gear or belt check codes with code reader, may be a crankshaft position sensor. Sensor is very easy repair and L300 isn't going anywhere if that sensor is malfunctioning.
injection pump crankshaft camp
crankshaft position sensor
Crank angle sensor reads rpm and sends the signal to the ECU (computer) to aid in the calculation of engine rpm, ignition timing, fuel injection and crankshaft position.
The crankshaft position sensor measures the rotational position of the crankshaft for the engine computer. That info is required for fuel and ignition timing.The crankshaft position sensor measures the rotational position of the crankshaft for the engine computer.

if you cant figure it out you shouldn't be trying to replace it
