The sensor is located under the timing belt behind the underdrive pulley. You will pretty much have to take that whole side of the motor apart to get to it....
The Mirage 1.8 engines does not have distributor has two coils for the four spaks contolled for the ECU and the Crank Position Sensor.
how to get the timing gears off the crank and cam shaft
There is no way to lock the crank on this engine. If you are replacing the timing belt, a special tool is available to lock the cams in position
the cam should be at 6:00 and the crank at 12:00
I need to see a photo pitchure of the timing alighnment marks,for the crank and cam shaft alighnment for a 2001 Mitsubishi mirage 1.8 liter engine
Standard is that it is pointing at the number one position on the distributor cap.
it is on the front timing. near botton of crank pulley.
behind the timing belt covers
Timing is done by Engine computer with imfo from cam and crank sensor . It is not adjustable. If you are replacing timing belt, a Gates timing belt comes with detailed instructions of belt and pulley timing marks. New belt has marks on it that correspond with cam shaft pulleys and crank pulley.
sounds like an electrical problem, try replacing the cam position sensorand check the coils
To fix a Mitsubishi 2.0 timing belt, one will need a crank pulley. Simply pull the crank pulley and the top right engine mount to put the timing belt in its proper position.
