2000 Escort zx2 turns over will not start passed OBD2 scanner test not getting spark from coil pack all fuses and belts are good?
check the crank and or cam sensor, the problem was the crankshaft sensor
What is the difference between a crankshaft position sensor and a camshaft position sensor in a 1995 camry?
The Crankshaft sensor and the Cam sensor monitor the position and or the speed of rotation of the crankshaft. Together they send signals to the ECM. The ECM uses that information along with info from other sensors to send spark and fuel to the cylinders at the correct time. Some engines only have only a crank sensor to perform that job. Other engines that have both crank and cam sensors that split the duties.
Would a bad coil pack cause a crank sensor code?
Yes it very well could, because a misfiring coil pack or weak coil pack can cause interruptions in the signals to both the camshaft position sensor into the crankshaft position sensor. I had this happen on my Buick LeSabre, it gave a code 18, which is Cam / crank position sensor error okay. I replaced all three coil packs, and it went away and never came back. If you look at the diagram for the wiring of your ignition control module, you'll see that the coil packs, ignition control module, and camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are all interconnected.
Where is cam sensor 302?
There was only a visible cam sensor on '98-2001 Explorer 302's. If you have a distributor, your cam sensor is in the distributor. If you don't have a distributor, it is where the distributor used to be on the front of the intake manifold.
What's wrong if my Dodge Avenger will not start and has no fire to plugs?
Best way to diagnose is to scan for codes, but not having that I would guess the ignition module then the crank/cam sensor.
Your Buick is super charged with coil packs not dist looking for cam sensor.?
your buick is ovisley not super charged with coil packs because its looking for a cam sensor
Changed coil and module but still no spark?
crank sensor or cam sensor
What is the difference between a camshaft angle sensor and a camshaft positioning sensor If there is any?
have never heard of a cam angle sensor. the cam does not change angle.it stays put in the bearings
What is the difference between a cam shaft sensor an a crank sensor?
A cam sensor tells the computer when number one compression stroke is happening, the crank sensor tell the computer when to fire the sparkplugs.
How does cam sensor work on a 97 Ford Taurus?
the cam sensor reads speed and works with the crank position sensor to tell your coil packs when to fire your spark plugs and what cylinder to fire on
Where is the cam sensor located on 1996 sunfire 2.2 engine?
back side by coil pack
97 Dodge crank sensor And cam sensor location at?
IS this a 5.2, if so the crank sensor is on the passenger side of the engine, in the far rear, it picks up off the flywheel, the cam sensor is located inside the distributor (it is the pick up coil).
2000 sunfire 2.4 with a bad miss changed boots plugs cam sensor and crank sensor?
possibble bad ignition coil
Where is the cam position sensor on a 1998 chev 1500 pickup?
It does not have a cam sensor. That engine still use's the distributor to note the position of the cam. If it's not firing then you need to check the ignition module and pick-up coil, they are both in the distributor.
Where is the Cam sensor in a 2001 Saturn SC2?
Saturn s-series do not use a cam sensor.If you are getting a trouble code that says you have a bad cam sensor,all it is high resistance on the 1-4 ignition coil circuit.A tune up will fix this code(plugs,wires,clean coil towers and there mounting bolts.
Why is your wrangler not sparking?
Possibly caused by a bad Crank Position Sensor. Could also be the cam position sensor or the coil. They all work together.
Where is cam shaft sensor located 1993 Chevy 350 5.7?
A 93 does not have a cam sensor. Everthing is in the distributor like the old stuff was. If the engine has no spark then the ignition module are the pick-up coil in the distributor is bad. I would also check the coil and coil wire. If this don't help you, then ask your question again with your synptoms. GOOD LUCK
