It's fairly complicated. The sensor is located near the bottom to the engine behind the crankshaft pulley and timing belt cover. Not a job for an inexperienced do-it yourself mechanic.
in timing belt
where is the crankshaft angle sensor located on a 1997 cadillac deville.
crankshaft sensor on your excel (presuming it is a DOHC model) is at the front of the engine. there is a small connector you'll see next to the exhaust heat shield, follow the wire from the connector down the block a little bit and that is the crank angle sensor (not to be confused with camshaft angle sensor which is located on top of the engine just behind the coil pack and next to the rocker cover).
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.
Crank Angle Sensor (location)i own a 98 Hyundai accent and the crankshaft position sensor is located just underneath the far right spark plug if your looking from the front of the car,about 5"-8". hope this helps.
On a 94 Turbo DSM there is no crank angle sensor. The Cam Angle Sensor(CAS)serves the function of both a crank and cam sensor, and it's located on the passenger side of the valve cover at the end of the intake camshaft, you can't miss it.
Using an angle drill, drill a small hole in the sensor. Thread a screw in the hole, and use it to pull the sensor out.
have never heard of a cam angle sensor. the cam does not change angle.it stays put in the bearings
The Crankshaft Position Sensor is attached to the bellhousing.The CPS detects teeth on the flyweel as thay pass the sensor during engine operation and thus provides the computer with info concerning engine speed and crankshaft angle. Hope this helps.
It is an integral part of the distributor. Changing the part is as expensive as buying another distributor. Just change the distributor, that way the whole piece gets some form of warranty where as the CPS(or CAS "cranks angle sensor") is usually considered a solo electrical part and has no warranty, what so ever.
Assuming you mean crank position sensor, it tells the ignition control module the position of the crankshaft so the module can tell the correct coil to fire at the correct time.
In my '97 Eclipse GST (the convertible model of your car), the Crankshaft Position Sensor, or Crankshaft Angle Sensor, is located behind the crankshaft pulley. To get to it, the Mitsubishi shop manual lists the removal of the timing belt. Not a fun job. Since the timing belt will be removed anyways, this is a good time to install a new belt. The Mitsubishi dealership also suggested replacing the timing belt tensioner when re-installing the timing belt.
