Diagnosing Crankshaft Position Sensors
Modern engines need to know the position of the crankshaft and camshafts.
Diagnosing Crankshaft Position Sensors
Modern engines need to not only know the position of the crankshaft, but the position of the camshafts.

OTC Releases New Crankshaft And Cam Tools For Detroit Diesel Engines
The new crankshaft and cam tools are now available throughout North America.
Understanding Crankshaft Position Sensors
Modern engines need to know the position of the crankshaft and camshafts. Why? The timing of the valves, fuel injectors and ignition coils are continually optimized for the most efficient combustion event depending on the load and speed of the engine. But the other reason for knowing the position of the crankshaft is for misfire detection.
Cranky Crankshaft Seals
Sometimes the least expensive parts are the most time-consuming to replace. This is the case with crankshaft oil seals.
VIDEO: Theta Engine Crankshaft Recall And What It Means To The Technician
Andrew Markel discusses a recall from Hyundai on its Theta engine, and how technicians can determine whether the engine has been inspected or replaced. Sponsored by Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper.
Crankshaft And Camshaft Signals
The key to diagnosing many cranking, no-start and stalling problems found on the late-model import is to understand how the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors function and what their mechanical relationship is to each other.
Demystifying Scopes: Engine Camshaft And Crankshaft Waveforms
Having to remove valve or front cover of an engine to check engine timing marks can rarely be completed in under an hour on most modern engines. But, capturing the waveforms from the camshaft and crankshaft sensors can be completed in under 30 minutes. This diagnostic approach can also diagnose circuit and sensor problems.
