Engine Speed And Crankshaft Position

Engine speed and crank position are monitored by a sensor which is mounted on the cylinder block (flywheel housing) in front of the crankshaft drive plate. It indicates rotational speed to the ECM in the form of 35 pulses per crank revolution. Engine speed is used for synchronization of fuel and ignition systems, as well as other functions.
