There is no such thing as a crankshaft sensor. There is no such thing as a crankshaft sensor.
Are the cam position sensor and crankshaft sensor the same thing in a 1999 sebring convertible v6?
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
Is the crankshaft sensor the same thing as a camshaft sensor?
No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
Is the crankshaft position sensor and engine speed sensor the same thing on a 2004 Nissan altima?
is the crankshaft position sensor the same and the engine speed sensor
1999 ford contour will crank but wont start it has power to the coil but no spark to the wires?
The first thing I would check is your crankshaft position sensor
How do you remove the crankshaft position sensor from a 1967 Dodge RAM 1500?
Do nothing. There was no such thing in 1967.
What do you do when you get engine code340 and 341 for camshaft position sensor when there is no such thing on a 1998 Saturn SL2?
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.
How do you change the crank position sensor on 1996 buick?
Actually, you don't replace the sensor itself. The crazy thing is part of the harmonic balancer, and you have to replace the whole thing.
How do you get center of ignition on Pontiac Bonneville?
I think you are trying to time the ignition to top dead center. If that is the case the crank position sensor tells the computer when to fire the spark plugs. This sensor gets pulsed by the gear on the crankshaft and depending on where this gear is at in its rotation the crank position sensor lets the computer know where the pistons are at in the cylinder. So the whole thing is computer controlled and a timing light is not used. Of course I'm assuming your car is an OBDII model.
What causes your engine to backfire and die after running about 20 mins Sits awhile and runs like new again then will do same thing over and over?
