the cam should be at 6:00 and the crank at 12:00
No, a crank position sensor and a cam position sensor are not the same thing. The crank position sensor monitors the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, which is crucial for engine timing and fuel injection. In contrast, the cam position sensor tracks the position of the camshaft, helping to manage valve timing and ensure proper engine performance. Both sensors are vital for engine management but serve different functions.
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.
on a kia sorento 3.5 liter the crank timing mark is on the front of the crank timing gear in is dot shaped punch on the face of the gear with a corresponding mark at 2 oclock on the block clean the gear you should see it
Standard is that it is pointing at the number one position on the distributor cap.
behind the timing belt covers
it is on the front timing. near botton of crank pulley.
12 o'clock
A timing belt is driven by the crank shaft and allows the camshaft to turn,which opens and closes intake and exhaust valves in their proper timing sequence.
It is located on the timing chain cover.
There is a mark on the timing chain cover behind the harmonic balancer(behind the crank pulley). The harmonic balancer also has a slot cut in it so that you can line the crank up with the mark on the timing cover. The mark on the timing cover should sit at the 2 o'clock position or the 12 o'clock position. My 96 Chevy 305 is at the 2 o'clock position.
It would be best if you let a pro install it as every crank has to be lined up for proper timing.
A Crank Shaft Position Sensor is a magnetic sensor that determines the position of the engine's crankshaft. It is used to set the electronic timing for the car's computer, so it is a very important part of the electronics.
