Any suggestions?--Timpicerilo (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

you forgot to put rpm in parenthesis i fixed it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.181.84 (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)


 * What's needed is a tie in of the camshaft sensor or another article.--Timpicerilo (talk) 15:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I added some categories and removed the warning.--Timpicerilo (talk) 15:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

can we rename this engine hjj sensor and merge this with cam shaft sensor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave2208 (talk • contribs) 14:42, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Symptoms
Symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensors include the engine refusing to start (obviously), but also includes the engine mysteriously ceasing to run for no apparent reason, and often with no OBD code thrown; shutting off the ignition switch and starting the engine will some times work for a few minutes, or even a few days, and then the engine will suddenly quit running again. The number of failures increase as the sensor degrades. Also, there is usually no pattern regarding heat: a car might not start even if it is cold, not just fail to start if it is hot. --Desertphile (talk) 23:40, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Is this a verifiable fact
This article presently has the flowing text: Some engines, such as GM's Premium V family, use crank position sensors which read a reluctor ring integral to the harmonic balancer. This is a much more accurate method of determining the position of the crankshaft, and allows the computer to determine within a few degrees the exact position of the crankshaft (and thereby all connected components) at any given time. Surely the claim for much more accuracy is not correct as it stands and needs verification and explanation. CPES (talk) 21:56, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

>Well, correct, the harmonic balancer reluctor ring should be the same part as it were before the invention of harmonic balancers... but the worst part of that it is that it is confusing mumbo jumbo... but doesn't do harm as yet... if a picture of the actual connection sensor-ring is added, the GM premium V can be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.64.6.81 (talk) 20:56, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
