Walker Products Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor P/N:235-1173
Keep the crankshaft position sensor reading the tone ring exactly as designed with the Walker Products Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor Spacer 235-1378. This paper spacer sets the critical air gap between the sensor and the reluctor/tone ring, and it drops in as a direct OE-replacement across a broad list of 1990–2007 Chrysler and Dodge cars, minivans, and trucks — including the Chrysler 300M, Concorde, Intrepid, and Town & Country and the Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, Dakota, and Ram 1500, spanning engines from the V6-2.5L up to the V8-5.9L. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 82 applications.
The crankshaft signal this spacer protects is what the ECU relies on for ignition timing, fuel delivery, and engine synchronization. If the gap ends up too wide or too narrow, the sensor can produce inaccurate readings that show up as hard starting, misfires, or crankshaft-signal fault codes — signs the spacer may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
Country of origin: United States. Manufacturer part number 235-1378; the listed applications use one spacer each.
What does the 235-1378 crankshaft position sensor spacer do?
It sets the air gap between the crankshaft position sensor and the tone ring/reluctor so the sensor can send a clean, consistent signal to the ECU for ignition timing and fuel delivery.
What are signs this spacer may need replacing?
An incorrect air gap can cause hard starting, misfires, or crankshaft-signal fault codes. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can also come from other components.
Will it fit my vehicle?
It's cataloged for many 1990–2007 Chrysler and Dodge models such as the 300M, Concorde, Intrepid, Town & Country, Caravan, Dakota, and Ram 1500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for all 82 applications.
Does it require any modification to install?
No. It installs directly between the sensor and the engine block or mounting bracket with no modification or trimming required.
What is it made of and how many do I need?
It's a paper spacer, and the listed applications use one per engine.
