How do you set an engine in its dead center position?
Top dead center on an engine is defined as when the piston is farthest from the crankshaft. Bottom dead center is when the piston is closest to the crankshaft on the engine.
What is a VW Jetta engine speed sensor?
The engine speed sensor provides the ECM with a crankshaft position signal. The ECM uses the signal to determine a crankshaft reference point (Top Dead Center) and calculate engine speed (RPM.) The signal is also used by the On-Board Diagnostic system for misfire detection. The ignition system will not operate if the ECM does not receive an engine speed sensor input.
What does the crankshaft sensor do on a Vectra B?
Same as all other cars, it senses crankshaft angle so that the engine control module can apply spark to the fuel at a precise time to achieve full combustion with minimal emissions. there's usually also a camshaft sensor, and many vehicles will use the camshaft sensor if the crankshaft sensor fails to provide limited functionality (limp home mode). If its dead, you'll have to replace it for the engine to operate properly. I don't know if your vehicle has any mileage limits on limp-home mode.
What is stroke of an engine?
The stroke of an engine is the distance the piston travels within the cylinder from bottom dead centre to top dead centre. This is governed by the throw of the crankshaft.
What does a crank sensor do on a 1995 dodge ram 1500 4wd?
It gives the engine computer the rotational location of the crankshaft. That is how the computer knows what piston is coming up on top dead center. It needs this info along with the cam sensor(in the distributor) for injector and spark timing.
What is the Mercedes Crank Position Sensor?
The crank position sensor is the sensor that measures TDC or top dead center of the crankshaft. Its located on the bell housing of the transmission and is a magnet type sensor and measures a toothed ring on the flywheel, can be access ususlly from the top of the engine at the rear/drivers side. they def. go bad and can cause crank/no start complaints......especially when hot!
What is crankshaft sensor?
its to tell the computer where the crank is in respect to top dead center so ss to get timeing for ignition feul injection ect ect
On a 94 3000gt If your o2 sensor is faulty will it not start entirely or will it be dead in the water?
A defective O2 sensor will not prevent the engine from starting. The engine will start and run albeit not as it should.
Where is the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor located at on the engine of a 1996 Chevy Caprice LT1?
Bottom right of the water pump. Dead center of the engine in the front.
What would cause a no start condition with a caterpillar 3406-e engine?
Engine speed sensor faulty. Dead battery or batteries. Loose or dirty battery connection. Dead spot on starter.
Why would there be no spark or no fuel getting to engine on 1997 Chrysler sebring?
Possibly the crank sensor or the coil pack is dead. But with a dead crank sensor you also get no spark, no crank. No crank equals no fuel delivery.
What would cause the cam sensor to smell like gas in my 2.2L s10?
In short; diluted oil. The cam sensor is inserted into the engine, either in the front timing cover or in an opening designed for a distributor originally, on engines that have been redesigned for distributorless ignition and fuel injection. an internal fuel leak can cause the oil in the crankcase to be diluted with a large amount of fuel and cause the sensor to smell like it. Either style of sensor is in direct contact with the engine oil. an internal fuel leak could be caused by a leaky fuel injector or more likely by a "dead" cylinder. When the engine is operating but one or more cylinders is not working, due to low compression or ignition problems, the fuel system on older vehicles does not cease operation of the affected cylinder, and continues to inject fuel, which is not burned and leaks past the piston rings into the oil pan. If you really meant crankshaft position sensor, which many people confuse, it is usually located externally, by the crankshaft balancer, in which case you would have a leaky fuel line most likely.
