When You Know That the Crankshaft Sensor of Your Car Has Failed

1
When you know that the crankshaft sensor of your
car has failed
2
A crankshaft sensor is an electronic device that
monitors the rotational speed of your crankshaft
and sends the information into your cars onboard
computer.
3
The onboard computer adjusts the fuel delivery
and spark timing according to the information
received from the crankshaft sensor.
4
It is an important part of your engine system as
the sensor is also responsible for your cars
emission performance and power output.
5
Here are some of the common signs that your car
shows due to a failed crankshaft sensor

1. Poor acceleration
2. Engine misfire
3. Low fuel efficiency
4. Flashing of check engine light
5. Ignition issues
6. Vibrations

1. Poor acceleration
7
The crankshaft sensor monitors the rotation of
the crankshaft and provides the data to the car's
electronic system.
8
A faulty sensor sends wrong data, which results
in the inefficient functioning of the engine
pistons together and there is poor acceleration.
9
2. Engine misfire
10
The engine misfires when the ignition parts that
control the spark doesn't work properly and there
is an insufficient supply of fuel.
11
The engine fails to maintain a constant speed
and fluctuates and sputters whenever you try to
accelerate.
12
3. Low fuel efficiency
13
The reduction in fuel mileage may be the result
of malfunctioning of any of the parts associated
with the optimal operation of the engine.
14
But when it is accompanied by poor acceleration
and frequent engine misfire, then be sure that
there might be an issue with the crankshaft
sensor.
15
4. Flashing of check engine light
16
The simplest and most obvious symptom of a
failing crankshaft sensor is the blinking check
engine light in your car.
17
The light is programmed to blink in advance,
allowing you to take care of the problem before
the car is left immobile and you are left
stranded.
18
5. Ignition issues
19
When the crankshaft position sensor begins to
fail, the signal it transmits to the vehicles
computer begins to weaken.
20
This, in turn, causes the spark plugs of the car
to die out, degrading the engine and it fails to
start at times showing ignition problems.
21
6. Vibrations
22
As the sensor regulates the crankshaft position,
when it fails, youll notice a considerable
increase in engine vibration.
23
Such extreme vibrations will not only decrease
your driving comfort, but also affect the mileage
as well as engine power.
24
The need of a crankshaft sensor
25
The sensor tracks the speed of crankshaft
rotation, monitors the engine valves, in relation
to the pistons, and observes overall engine
function.
26
The crankshaft sensor failure means that your
car engine cannot function efficiently and will
eventually fail completely.
27
A failing engine is not only costly to repair
but dangerous, so it is in your best interest to
recognize these symptoms, quickly to get the
problem repaired.
28
The advantage of having a crankshaft sensor is
that the car can run even without a distributor
and less chance of a breakdown.
