How camshaft connected to the crankshaft?
Usually by chain but could also be by gears or belt.
What is the difference between a camshaft and a crankshaft?
The connecting rods and pistons are connected to the crankshaft. Ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber pushes the pistons down which rotates the crankshaft which generates the engines torque/power. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves which allows the air/fuel mixture to flow in and out of the engine. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and is kept in proper sequence by a timing belt/chain or gears.
What is purpose of crankshaft position sensor circuit perf?
In older cars that used a distributor, the distributor shaft was connected to the camshaft. The camshaft was connected to the crankshaft. So as they all turned, the spark would fire in direct correlation to the crankshaft. Once they eliminated the distributor, the computer needed a way to determine when to fire the spark. So they place a sensor near the end of the crankshaft and it reports the crankshaft position to the computer. So the computer can know when to fire the spark for each cylinder.
What are the mechanical differences of Chrysler 2002 2.7 and 2005 2.7 engine?
The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.
Why does your 2001 Cadillac Seville shut off and turn back on?
check for the camshaft/crankshaft sensors... where is your camshaft/crankshaft sensors
What is the ratio of crankshaft to camshaft?
The Crankshaft spins twice for every single turn of the Camshaft. so it would be a 2:1 ratio.
What is cmp or ckp on an 2000 Dodge Intrepid?
CMP : camshaft position sensorCKP : crankshaft postion sensor.CMP : camshaft position sensorCKP : crankshaft postion sensor.
Is there a difference between a camshaft and a cambelt?
The cambelt connects the camshaft to the crankshaft, the belt drives the camshaft and keeps it in the correct timing (when the valves open/close in relation to the crankshaft angle.)
Where is the camshaft sensor on a 1997?
On the front of the engine slightly above or behind the top of the crankshaft pully. It has an electical conmector with two wire leads connected
What turns the camshaft?
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft, via chain, usually, or, gears.
Is the crankshaft sensor the same thing as a camshaft sensor?
No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
How are camshaft driven?
By a chain or belt from the crankshaft.
