Camshaft & crankshaft sensors are vital components of the engine's control system that monitor the rotational position & speed of the camshaft & crankshaft. The camshaft sensor detects the position of the camshaft, which helps determine the precise timing of valve operation. This information is crucial for fuel injection & ignition timing. The crankshaft sensor measures the rotational speed & position of the crankshaft, which is essential for accurate engine timing & synchronization. These sensors typically use magnetic or Hall effect technology to detect the movement of toothed or notched wheels attached to the camshaft & crankshaft. The sensor sends signals to the engine control unit (ECU), allowing it to make adjustments & optimize engine performance. If either of these sensors malfunctions or fails, it can lead to issues such as misfiring, poor fuel efficiency, or even engine stalling. Regular maintenance & inspection of these sensors are important to ensure their proper functioning & prevent potential engine problems.
