Keep your engine's ignition timing and fuel delivery on cue with the Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor (PC480). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1990-1993 DODGE B150, D150, D250, D350, DAKOTA, RAMCHARGER, W150, W250 and W350, plus the 1991 DODGE DM350. A crankshaft position sensor monitors the rotational position and speed of the crankshaft and sends that signal to the engine control module, which uses it to manage ignition timing and fuel injection.
- Core job: tracks crankshaft position and rotational speed and reports it to the ECM for timing and injection control.
- Signs it may need replacing: hard starting or a no-start, stalling, rough running, or an erratic tachometer — if a failed crankshaft position sensor is the cause, this replaces the original.
- Direct fit: a direct-fit replacement for the applications listed above.
Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
