Is the device you are calling the manuall shift lever sensor really a neutral safety switch? It is a device to help prevent the vehicle from being startted in a drive gear.
a pintle position sensor tell the engine computer what the exact position of the egr valve is
Yes, the camshaft position is critical for both compression and ignition reference. That is valve timing. But there is no code to tell you your valve timing is off. There is a Camshaft Position Sensor, check for voltage at the connector, broken wiring or corrosion and then ohm out or replace the sensor. Get e repair manual and learn about your car, you'll save money, I promise...
You can start by looking at GreatLakesXJ.com/tech.html. Be sure to give a donation so they can keep their wonderful document library open. You'll find the factory manual and parts catalogs there.
It is a sensor that reads the rotational position of the camshaft. The engine computer uses that to control ignition and fuel timing.
It appears that the Ford Aerostar with 3.0 engine does not have a crank position sensor, but the 4.0 engine does have one.
May be the MLPS (Manual Lever Position Sensor).
It is located on the side of the trans where the shifter lever is. also called neutral safety switch
It Is Mounted On The Left Side Of Your Transmission Where Your Shifter Cable Is Hooked Up......
Yes. MPLS stands for manual lever position sensor. It is the old name for what is now called the neutral safety switch.
right under the battery and right on top of the tranny. just look real deep in there and you will find it.
I was reading online that a common cause is the TR/MLP sensor (Transmission Range sensor, or Manual Lever Position sensor) You may want to look into that.
The throttle position sensor is mounted to the throttle body on the end of the throttle shaft opposite of the lever.
Try changing the manual lever position sensor that worked for me.
A wiring diagram for the accelerator position sensor can be found in the vehicles maintenance manual. It can also be found in the cars repair manual.
According to my Chilton repair manual , the crankshaft position sensor is used to determine crankshaft position and crankshaft RPM
Interpreting "manual lever position sensor" to be referring to the transmission range sensor (TRS) / aka neutral safety switch ...Yes. The TRS sends information to the powertrain control module (PCM) that in turns sends control signals to the transmission.If the engine computer gets bad info than it's extremely likely it's going to send bad control info to the transmission.Luckily, a TRS is not very expensive and a rather 'easy' replacement.See "Related Questions" below for more
Place the gearshift lever in the (D) position and hang a 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight on the shift control selector lever. Move the gearshift lever to the first gear position, then move back two detents to the (D) position. Hang the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight on the gearshift lever. Raise and support the vehicle. Disconnect the transmission shift cable from the manual control lever. Pull out the transmission shift cable adjustment lock on the shift cable body. Place the manual control lever in the (D) position. 1 Rotate the manual control lever fully counterclockwise. 2 Rotate the manual control lever clockwise to the (D) position. (2 detents). Connect the transmission shift cable to the manual control lever. Push in the transmission shift cable adjustment lock on the shift cable body. Note: If equipped with air suspension, reactivate the system by turning on the air suspension switch. Lower the vehicle. Remove the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight. CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not adjust the transmission shift cable in any position other than (D). Verify that the vehicle will start only in P or N and that backup lamps illuminate in R. If not, repeat steps 1 through 7 and perform a digital transmission range sensor alignment.
