A crankshaft position sensor reads the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft. It sends that signal to the engine control module, which uses it to help time ignition and fuel injection.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include hard starting or a no-start, stalling, a lit check engine light, or an erratic tachometer. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the fault before replacing. If a failed crankshaft position sensor is the cause, PC1020 replaces it.
