Best Answer

a CKP or crank sensor provides the PCM with a crankshaft position signal. The PCM uses the signal to determine the firing order for each cylinder.

a CMP or cam sensor is very similar to a CKP, but produces pulses in relation to only cylinder #1 at TDC, a CMP determines the timimng for fuel injection on each cylinder
