Japanese Subaru Crankshaft Sensor

Description

The crankshaft position sensor, in case you don’t know is an electronic device that is vital to the functioning of a car. It is located in the engine of the car. It registers the rate of spinning of the crankshaft. This sensor then passes the information to the ECU and decided optimal fuel injection and regulation of ignition. It is the location of the crankshaft that determines the effectiveness of the gathered data. This is why the sensor is located either next to camshaft or the crankshaft itself.

If we try to explain it in simpler words, the crankshaft position sensor monitors within the engine, the location of the camshaft. The information that it gathers thus, it uses the same to optimize the timing of fuel injection in the engine. In case this sensor malfunctions, the computer will be unable to make fine adjustment to fuel injection and the performance of the engine will dip.
