SOURCE: camshaft position sensor location

crank sensor is a component used in an internal combustion engine to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control ignition system timing and other engine parameters. Before electronic crank sensors were available, the distributor would have to be manually adjusted to a timing mark on the engine.

The crank sensor can be used in combination with a similar camshaft position sensor to monitor the relationship between the pistons and valves in the engine, which is particularly important in engines with variable valve timing. It is also commonly the primary source for the measurement of engine speed in revolutions per minute.

Crank sensors in engines are usually comprised of magnets and an inductive coil. They are principally based on the Hall effect. Common mounting locations include the main crank pulley, the flywheel, or occasionally on the crankshaft itself.

Some engines, such as GM's Premium V family utilise crank position sensors which read a reluctor ring integral to the Harmonic Balancer. This is a much more accurate method of determining the position of the crankshaft, and allows the computer to determine within a few degrees the exact position of the crankshaft (and thereby all connected components) at any given time.

SOURCE: P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Intermittent (Bank 1 or

The camshaft sensor is located right above the crankshaft pulley on the passengers side of the front cover of the engine. It will be a 3 pin sensor either gray or black in color. There is a pointer that is attached to the sensor and it is either gold or silver in color. There is also a recall out on this camshaft sensor. If the color of the sensor is black then it should qualify for the recall. If you get in touch with a Ford dealer they should be able to help you with your recall if the sensor is black since it is a safety recall. As far as your exhaust pressure sensor it is located on the front of the engine right by the heater core hose a little to the passengers side of the center of the front of the engine. there will be a tube attached to the bottom of the sensor that goes from it to the front of the exhaust manifold on the very front of the passengers side exhaust manifold.

SOURCE: I cant find a detailed picture of where the location is to check these items.

The crankshaft position sensor is located on the transmission bell housing on the right side (if you're facing the engine from the transmission side). The camshaft position sensor is towards the top center of the timing cover on the front of the motor. They both have 3 wire connectors that are virtually identical.

The cam sensor is on the back of the engine, drivers side. On the side of the head, facing the wheel. Just under the rocker arm cover. Only thing on that side. Four bolts to remove it.

Kia sorrento Idle problem after battery replacemant

I am only finding a 3.5 V6 engine option for the 2005 KIA Sorrento. The Sportage had a 2.0 4 cylinder engine. My experience on that (2.0) engine is that the camshaft sprocket bolts will come loose and cause the dowel pin to sheer off inside the snout of the camshaft. causing major drivability issues and correlation codes. But first, if there is no clattering or weird noises from the engine, i would replace the intake cam oil control solenoid with an OEM unit and see if that doesn't fix the issue. It is very important to get this issue fixed ASAP and not to drive the car around, because if it is the loose cam sprocket bolt that i told you about, if that dowel pin completely sheers, you will end up bending the valves and have a much larger repair bill. If your rig has the 3.5 V6, then we will need to explore other timing related failures. Here is a good video of some things to check on a 2.0 engine:

Camshaft position sensor location 2000 Honda Accord

A camshaft position (CMP) sensor is typically only used as a reference for sequential fuel injection into the cylinders by the powertrain control module (PCM). Technically speaking, the 2000 Honda Accord doesn't have a CMP sensor, rather a cylinder position sensor (CYP). This should not be confused with the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) which is primarily used for ignition timing. There are also two different engine options for the vehicle being the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine and the 3.0 V6 engine. Sensor locations will be different for each option so it's important to first identify which engine is in the vehicle. The CYP sensor for the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine is located inside the distributor and is not serviceable; the whole distributor would need to be replaced. The CYP sensor for the 3.0L V6 on the other hand is located behind the left camshaft pulley on the timing belt back cover and is a serviceable part.

Peugeot 3008 camshaft sensor location

The camshaft position sensor on a Peugeot 3008 can be located in different positions depending on the engine model and year of manufacture. Here are the possible locations:
  1. On the engine cylinder head: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is mounted on the engine cylinder head, near the camshaft.
  2. Near the timing belt cover: In some other models, the camshaft position sensor is located near the timing belt cover. It can be either on the engine block or on the cylinder head.
  3. Behind the camshaft pulley: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is located behind the camshaft pulley.
To locate the camshaft position sensor on your specific Peugeot 3008 model, you should consult your owner's manual or a repair manual for your vehicle. Alternatively, you can seek the assistance of a professional mechanic or a Peugeot dealer.

Im getting codes P0011 and P0014 on my 2011 kia serento. Is mean my camshaft sensor is bad? if so where is it?

These codes have to do with the CVVT(continuously variable valve timing)solenoid. I guess it is a 2.4 liter engine, the solenoid is located right above the power steering pump at the #1 cylinder in the cylinder head. If it is the 3.5 liter it is located on top of each cylinder and is accessed after the intake plenum is removed. Either way, the solenoid controls valve timing of the exhaust cam via the solenoid which uses oil pressure to advance or retard the timing. The first step is to verify proper weight of oil and level. If the engine is over due for service, get it done. If the oil is not an issue, then the solenoid is becoming sluggish in advancing or retarding the camshaft and should be replaced.

I have a kia sadona and need to replace my rack and pinion. Can I replace it without taking engine out???

To install a camshaft replacement sensor on a 2003 Kia Sedona you will need a screwdriver, a wrench, a break bar and socket, and a camshaft position sensor. To install, make sure the vehicle's ignition switch is turned off and disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Remove the air filter housing from the car by unscrewing the bolts that secure the lid. Rotate the crankshaft. Locate the cylinder head and mount the camshaft sensor onto the cylinder head.---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would a bad crank sensor cause car to loose power? I went over a speed bump and car just stopped

Actually, On 2006 vehicles the camshaft position sensor senses the TDC point of the number one cylinder, on its compression stroke. Its signal is relayed to the ECM to be used to determine the sequence of fuel injection. The Crank sensor is used to determine RPM ranges The crankshaft position sensor consists of a magnet and coil. The voltage signal from the sensor is relayed to the ECM to indicate engine rpm and the position of the crankshaft. This sensor wouldn't affect your performance but, the Cam sensor will if its damaged. To answer you question correctly, it would be the cam sensor i would check. it actually controls the injection system. if damaged, it will cause performance issues. On 2006 vehicles the crankshaft position sensor is located next to the radiator hose inlet and outlet assembly. On 2006 vehicles, the camshaft position sensor is located on top of the engine, on the engine head cover.
