FAQs

1. What is the difference between a crankshaft sensor and a camshaft sensor?

The crankshaft sensor reports engine speed and crankshaft position; the camshaft sensor confirms which stroke each cylinder is on and provides VVT feedback.

2. Can I drive with a failed crankshaft sensor?

In most cases, no; a failed crankshaft sensor causes the engine to stall or refuse to start because ignition and injection timing have no primary reference signal.

3. How do I find the crank sensor location on my engine?

Crank sensor location is engine-specific. CBT Auto Parts provides location data with all applicable sensor orders, and your engine service manual confirms the exact position.

4. Are aftermarket crankshaft sensors and camshaft sensors reliable?

Yes, OEM-quality aftermarket sensors stocked by CBT Auto Parts are manufactured to match the original voltage output, frequency range, and signal timing of the factory component.

5. Does CBT Auto Parts ship engine sensors internationally?

Yes, all orders are dispatched from our warehouse and shipped worldwide with fast fulfilment.
