In most modern cars this sensor 'tells' to engine control (computer) the position of the crankshaft in ratio with the camshaft; both are syncroniced to an especific position to produce the combustion... (that means the camshaft sensor to do the same) ... with this readings (from both sensor) the computer fire up the fuel injectors & the ignition coil... by controling the frecuency of the fuel injection your engine is managed to proper performance & this start with the crank sensor trigger signal.
the cam angle sensor is the crank angle sensor it preforms both jobs
The crank angle sensor is located in the distributor.only in the 94 and 95 Honda accord.
You adjust the timing by moving the crank angle sensor. The crank angle sensor is driven by the camshaft closest to the intake manifold (passenger side of the engine) and is located behind the cylinder head and valve cover. Losen the bolt that secures the crank angle sensor, in order to move the crank angle sensor.
heyo captin jack
there is no crank sensor on a Mitsubishi 3000 gt but there is a crank angle sensor that looks just like a distributor its in the back of the engine on top between valve covers
around the optical lens
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
It is integrated in the distributor.
faulty crank angle sensor in most cases
it is in the disturber under the cap
1991 to 1993 3000gt do not have a crank sensor. Only a cam sensor. And when does go out the car will not start or have a very irregular idle.
