Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

CKP sensor is located in distributor on SOHC engines, except 1.5L 4-cylinder with California emissions. On DOHC 4-cylinder, DOHC V6 and 1.5L 4-cylinder engines with California emissions, CKP sensor is located beside crankshaft, in front of engine. PCM determines crankshaft position on pulse signals received from sensor, and then controls MFI timing and ignition timing.
