Feed your BMW's engine computer a precise crankshaft signal with the Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor PC240. This sensor tracks the position and speed of the crankshaft and reports it to the engine control module, which uses that input to time ignition and fuel delivery. It drops in for the 1994-1995 BMW 318i and 318is, and the 1995 BMW 318ti, all with the L4-1.8L engine.
- Accurate timing: Custom magnetic-circuit programming and performance testing calibrate the sensor output to the target wheel.
- Superior operation: An integrated analog-to-digital converter and adaptive switch points process the signal quickly to help adjust fuel and timing.
- Extensively tested: End-of-line checks for timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude, plus in-lab vibration and extreme-temperature testing.
- Engineered for BMW: Specially engineered for BMW vehicles.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include hard starting, stalling, an intermittent no-start, or misfires — diagnose the cause first, as these can have other sources; if a failed crankshaft position sensor is behind them, this replaces it. Connector: rectangular plug-in, female, with three male blade terminals. The listed applications use one sensor each. Country of origin: Italy. Manufacturer part number PC240.
