As the crankshaft rotates, the sensor produces a pulsed voltage signal, where each pulse corresponds to the tooth on the reluctor ring. The photo below shows the actual signal from the crankshaft position sensor with the engine idling. In this vehicle, the reluctor ring is made with two miss...
This system usesengine sensors to determine crankshaft position and camshaft position. These sensors continually monitor the positions of both shafts and deliver that information tothe engine computer. The Crankshaft Position Sensor is mounted at the front of the crankshaft, or near the flywheel on so...
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor monitors crankshaft position and speed. Your vehicle computer uses this information, along with data from other vehicle sensors, to maintain ignition timing. As a result, problems with the crank sensor or circuit will prevent the engine from starting. If you s...
Set the new camshaft position sensor into place on the cylinder head, so it is in the same position it was prior to you removing it. Hand-thread the sensor’s retaining bolts, then torque them to 115 inch-pounds, using an inch-pound torque wrench and socket. Plug the wiring harness int...
This type uses a crankshaft position sensor for ignition timing, providing more precise control than a mechanical distributor. This setup improves reliability and performance. Wasted spark coil pack. Source: ngk.com Coil-on-Plug (COP) The coil-on-plug system places an individual ignition coil...
position sensors for the camshaft and crankshaft, which identifies the engine's cycles; the mass airflow sensor and MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor, which monitor different ways air affects the engine; the oxygen sensor, which measures exhaust quality; idle control; the EGR valve sensor,...
ADS relay has a purpose always. It will not provide power directly to the fuel pump. It will providepower to fuel pumpif there is a cam or crankshaft portion sensor that detects at the ECU or PCM; in a single line, it’s unnecessary. ...
s long term test of a first year 1975 Rabbit. The plan was to test it only to 24,000 miles, but since the car required extensive upgrading to 1976 specs (by VW) and then suffered a major failure (broken crankshaft) along with numerous more minor ...

Inside the dynamometer, a rotating blade directs the water to generate braking force against the crankshaft. The engine's power is determined by the amount of heat produced, which correlates with the volume of water used—the greater the water flow, the higher the braking force required. Fluid...
