Crank Angle Sensor Resistance (MX-6 Turbo, 626 Turbo & 929)

  1. Disconnect crank angle sensor connector from distributor. On 929, crank angle sensor is a separate unit located on the back of the camshaft. Measure resistance between terminals indicated in CRANK ANGLE SENSOR RESISTANCE TABLE  . See Fig 1 . If resistance is not as indicated, replace distributor assembly.
  2. If ignition coil resistance and crank angle sensor test okay, check for spark. If spark is still not available, go to IGNITOR test.
