Awesome video!

First class-very clearly explained, and with equally clear speech. I watched a clip previously which had a mind-numbing and irritating soundtrack that overwhelmed the presenter's dull, quite monotone. I gave up, and ended up here--result! Thanks for making and posting this.

Thank you... great work on the editing straight to the point. Job well Done.

Love this clearly explained I watch and understand how it works thanks very helpful

Jay, thanks for the feedback, comments like that make it worth doing! If theres any particular subject you want me to go over let me know :)

cheers man for this, used it for my collage work

first class clearly explained .a great explanation

thank M tech Automotive yu are really helping us in our school study....

My nephew's car didn't past the emissions test being this one the reason, I just wanted to what was it, thanks for your clear explanation!

Excellent video. Thank you.

thanks! i recently put in a NEW (but bad) CKP sensor and its apparently shorted internally- screwing up my fuel level gauge, ignition coil/ignitor(?) and setting off a host of other selonoids- et al! I cleaned all grounds, rebuilt my fuse box, new ECU, cleaned everything........no changes UNTIL i just now decided to swap back in the old CKP sensor. All the electrical clicking, etc went away immediately and Im not going thru the KEY RELEARN process for the new ECU

Very helpful, thanks!

Awesome explanation ✅

excellent!! i understand it now finally lol thanks for the video

Brilliant and very clear explanation. You seem to have a lot of experience with various OEM and aftermarket EFI set up. In your opinion which aftermarket EFI would you chooses for best reliability for the costs for a street performance 4 cylinder engine in a hot climate? Not sure if it would be single throttle body or quad as yet. I realize what technology is always improving

hi.....its really informative video....thank you so much for sharing such data to us.........but in this video u did not tell that how to check sensor working through multimeter ,,,or through tester

necesitamos esta informacion en español tambien gracias

Really good video, I have now subscribed! I always assumed the general function of the crank sensor but needed some specifics for some troubleshooting with my car, and this video was exactly what I needed. It gave detailed information, and yet I think even a complete mechanical novice would understand it.

Thanks very much

Good explanation!

Nice job.I am manubo adinan from Uganda East African. My question is,what could be the broblem when or if my my car missfires

Thanks

Bro kindly give your notes it's useful for us

THOSE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WORK AS A DISTRIBUTOR WHERE IT DISTRIBUTE POWER ACCORDING TO HOW FAR IT IS FROM THE OFFSET, FOR EXAMPLE SAME CARS U COUNT 16 TEETH FOR IT TO SOUND RIGHT. SO IF AM TO TAKE IT BACK A BIT OR FORWARD WILL IT AFFECT THE FIRING SYSTEM LIKE A DISTRIBUTOR

Great video..(As a novice I fully understand your explaination 10/10).. have a question ...what could possibly cause this senario...after changing 3 CrankSensors in my Prado 1KZ-TE Diesel 1998 Engine... at idle, stop or slow speed engine light comes on...once driving the engine light goes out. The engine light is being triggered by the crank shaft sensor... what is it that my mechanic may have overlooked to correct this engine rebuild issue?

Hi. I am doing a manual transmission swap in a platform that has not been fully tested before (350z manual transmission in a Titan truck). If I have to move the sensor do I also need to rotate the sensor ring accordingly? E.g. The oem location for the sensor is at 7 o'clock and the new location o must move it to for my application is at 5 oclock. From what I understand to allow the Ecu to accurately read the crank position I will need to rotate the timing ring so that it is in line with the new location of the sensor. Is this correct?

Why do I have metal shaving on my crankshaft sensor ?

i installed a new transmission but had to turn flex plate to bolt to torque converter now car will not start, is this because its out of sync ? I have replaced crank position sensor, but could a 1 inch out of sync cause no start?

so the senor causes high Rev and no power or just stalling problem?

How does crankshaft position sensor know the engine is at intake stroke (when the intake valves open) and activate the fuel injector ?

All very well, but at at 1:36 you have NOT mentioned a crucial part: the MAGNET. Without the magnet there is no change in the field and thus no output pulses. The magnet magnetizes the core. The passing teeth influence the magnetic flow. This CHANGE in magnetic field generates a voltage in the coil.

how much the coil resistance must read

Sir, i dont measure any ohms ( infinite ) between any of the three pins on my bosch sensor for my 1999 ferrari F355 ...does it mean an open coil circuit and bad sensor ? What else is there in these sensors ?

can a bad fly wheel cause a new crank position sensor to go bad within a year.. changed my fly wheel and car runs good but now I'm getting a crank position sensor code coming up

what happens if you wire a crank senor backwards? Could anything break?

my mom needs help she is a senior citizen and can't get her truck started and doesn't have alot of money and I don't have much to help either I put new spark plugs and wires, camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, ignition coil since those didnt cost alot from rockauto still nothing it cranks but doesn't seem to get spark the rpm needle moves when trying to start and the check engine light goes off when trying to start when you stop trying to start check engine light comes back on only other thing I can think it is is the pcm not being told to tell the spark plugs to spark but don't have a way to know of I'm right before buying 1 of them please help I dont know what else to look for Unless someone in michigan that can come help appreciate it Or any ideal what else I should check Some people say fuel pump but I wouldn't think that would stop spark but not the best mechanically inclined 2004 ford ranger xlt 3.0 v6

The EMS knows the crank position, but how does it know which piston to inject?

So the trigger wheel has nothing to do with the crank pulley ?

If there was broken teeth, where it was evidence that they were broken, what would that cause?

Isn’t this what your distributor once did.

What would happen if it's missing a tooth

Crank position sensors and every other crazy sensor is a waste of engineering excellence and only makes automotive manufacturers look like dumb asses. I can build you a motor with none of these retarded sensors that will run a few hundred thousand miles with zero issues because it's kept simple with none of these sensors.
