How do you make align the crank shaft gear and the cam shaft gear on a Chevrolet 350?
Asked by Wiki User
On most 350's, put both sprockets on then turn them so that the dot on the crank sprocket is straight up and the dot on the cam sprocket is straight down. Remove the cam sprocket, put the chain around it and slip the chain around the crank sprocket while placing the cam sprocket back into position, being careful to maintain the orientation. There were a few years around the late 70's where both dots are straight up. You would know right away when you adjust the valves because you would be assuming #1 was up for compression, and one of the rockers would be down to push the exhaust valve open. Rotate the crankshaft one revolution and readjust the valves.
Can a bad camshaft sensor affect the way your car shifts?
Asked by Laurahalbrader
no the camshaft has nothing to do at all with the transmission. your cams main function is to let air and fuel into the combustion chamber and then let the gasses [exhaust] out.
In some engines the cam sensor only moniters the engine for cylinder misfires.

Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1996 Buick Riviera?
Asked by Wiki User
The camshaft sensor is behind the water pump pulley and the crank sensor is mounted just above the crank pulley(dynamic balancer). If the crank sensor is bad . The car will simply DIE. If the cam sensor is bad it will simply not have sequential injector firing and driveability and MPG will be affected.
BOB
Answerwhen the water pump pulley is removed you can see a sensor with 3 wires going to it at the top side of the crank shaft pulley. you might be able to see it with a flashlight and a mirror without removing anything. hope that's the right sensor.Where is crank sensor located on 2000 Chevy Tahoe?

How can you know if is the sensor or the cluster to fix your speedometer and where is the sensor on a 1991 Maxima?
Asked by Wiki User
Have the same problem...you need to see if it is a lose solder so you can remove the dash screws and pull out the head or you can see if you have a sensor. Look behind the oil filter and there should be a box with a wire the wire will run back to the speedometer head. Sometimes a quick fix can be to GENTLY push the wires toward the sensor. If none of this works take it in to the Nissan dealer and get it fixed it costs around 150 dollars. Check the fuses in the box they will be labeled cluster interior or dash.b Also check the fuseable links.

Can the map sensor keep a car from starting?
Asked by Wiki User
"Yes. its a maf sensor (mass air flow sensor) and it will not let it start it will mostly just crank n crank over or start for a min with spiradic idling n shut off"
Actually, there is such thing as a MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) but in some vehicles (especially Chrysler-Daimler) i believe, it can make the vehicle not start.
Where can you find instructios showing how to replace a camshaft position sensor in 1999 Daewoo Leganza?
Asked by Wiki User
-adding to- This took me a lot of research, so I hope you appreciate the sharing you can find a link to the actual Daewoo diagram at the following link:
www.daewooautopartspr.com/id15.html (just for the diagrams engine set up Open cover valve diagram the cam sensor is located near the timing belt housing before the #1 spark plug)
Please be careful jacking up the Daewoo as the oil pan in this has what is refered to as a Liquid gasket it is meant to be practicaly perminent and usually does not require removal unless it has experienced some type of impact. On the Camshaft Postioning sensor I had to order one of these straight from Daewoo themselves at cost of $117.00 this came with the directions and list of recalled part. Daewoo will only reemburse you if the part is one of the CMP Lot numbers so check the CMP lot number first (1267-2321) Directions: With the engine off, disconnect the negative side of the battery remove the valve cover spark plug location, disconnect the wire harness from the Camshaft sensor remove the camshaft positioning sensor check with following recalled numbers if it matches in the (1267-2321) codes you need to call Daewoo for the replacement part. (866) 362-1234 (yes that is the real number). Hope these links and information is helpfull. :D

What sensor do you replace on a 1999 mercury sable that stalls after 20 min of driving then starts and runs fine after 45 min of sitting no engine light on and just smogged and is not hot?
Asked by Wiki User
It sounds to me like you have a bad E.G.R. valve... the E.G.R valve is right on the top of the engine. should be pretty easy to get to. if not, it could be you mass air sensor. It would definately be one of the 2... Try the E.G.R valve first though. Probably gonna run you about 100 bucks for it.
