What is this sensor??

[Dragline]

I need to know what this sensor is:

Connector's look like this:

Hmmm, 3 wires, goes toward bell housing...

Is it attached to the bell housing?

 

[Dragline]

It's dark and raining now so I can't check, but I think it went into the firewall just above the bell housing. It won't start with it disconnected.

Sounds likes its probably the crank position sensor, what is that blue scotchlock doing on there ? Did you hook a tach up to it or something ?

No the male connector was bad and would stall the engine for a split second when I hit a bump. I cut one out from a junkyard and tried to splice it on. Didn't work, so now I need to replace the whole thing. From the way it acts, I think it may be the CPS.

That scotch lock may just be your problem....

Put down the bottle.
Sorry I can't see the pics at work and couldn't help myself.
I'll try to look at home later so I can see pics.

"scotchlock" is what I meant.... I can see the comedy though.

Hallo Jeeper. It is indeed the CPS. The round connector is only used 2 years:1992 and 1993. Very confusing if you see in the Heynesbook.
The connector is sometimes a culprit for misfires and startproblems !:smsoap:

Thanks all

I had the same style CPS plug in my '91. Created a bit of confusion when I swapped the '93 stroker in and couldn't find the corresponding plug

Question #2 - Are the CPS sensors the same for different years of the HO 4.0L engine, just with different connectors?

Hallo Jeeper. What do you mean? :laugh3: I am Dutch.
Are the sensors different?

I mean can I use a CPS from a '90 or '94 on my '92 engine and just either hardwire it in without a connector or switch connectors.
