Engine Sensors
About Crankshaft position sensors: The crankshaft position sensor is used to measure the speed the crankshaft is turning. It is then sent to the cars computer and is used to adjust fuel injection timing and spark timing. It is also compared to the camshaft sensor to...
About Camshaft Position Sensor: The camshaft sensor is a magnetic sensor used to measure the camshafts speed and the position of each piston. The car uses this data along with the crankshaft position sensor to control fuel injection timing and spark timing, and...
What does the barometric sensor do? Engines use a combination of air and fuel which is ignited by the spark plugs to create combustion. These series of combustion’s turn the crankshaft and camshaft and allow your vehicle to run. The barometric sensor (also known...
About Oxygen Sensors (O2 Sensors): Most everyday combustion engines work by exploding a combination of air and fuel. Oxygen sensors are used to create the optimal fuel efficiency in your car. Oxygen sensors constantly detect the oxygen content of a car’s...
About Knock Sensors: In order to operate correctly, combustion engines explode a mixture of fuel at accurate intervals. The purpose of a knock sensor is to detect whether the engine is pre-igniting or detonating and prematurely sparking and igniting this...
About Mass Air Flow Sensors: A Mass airflow sensor or meter is an important component in fuel injector systems, designed to help with fuel injection. The mass airflow sensor is positioned on the air intake and measures the density of air coming in through the...
