This sensor basically keeps track of where the crankshaft is in the engine’s rotation. It’s a magnetic sensor, so it reads teeth on the crankshaft or a reluctor wheel, and sends that information as an electrical signal to the engine control unit – the computer that runs your engine. It tells the computer exactly which position the crankshaft is in at any given time. It’s a crucial part of the engine’s timing system. The computer uses the signal from this sensor to figure out when to fire the spark plugs and when to inject fuel into the cylinders. Think of it like this – it's telling the computer when to make the engine go boom, and in what order. It works closely with the camshaft position sensor, they’re a team. Without a good signal from the crank sensor, the computer is pretty lost. If this sensor fails, your engine will probably run rough, maybe not start at all. You’ll notice if it's bad, usually with a check engine light, and often with stalling or just a generally unwell engine. It can cause all sorts of problems because the engine timing gets thrown off. It’s one of those parts that, when it’s working, you don’t even think about. But when it goes bad, it becomes a big deal. We carry these pretty often, you can find a good selection over at Fixparts Online, but honestly most auto parts stores will have them. It’s a fairly common repair.
