What are the crankshaft and camshaft signals on a Gen I Chevy?
The 24x crankshaft signal components and 1x camshaft signal components make the Gen I small-block Chevy engine ready for Gen III PCM control. EFI Connection eliminated the problematic Optispark distributor used with all Gen II LT1 and LT4 engines by using the same 24x small-block reluctor and a 1996ñ1997 LT1 timing cover.
What kind of camshaft signal does a GM small block engine have?
Since 1996, the Gen I small-block Vortec engines are equipped with a low-resolution 4x crankshaft signal and a 1x camshaft signal. This means all Gen I small-block Chevy engines are easily converted to PCM use (GM# 12200411) with the addition of a GM 4x crankshaft reluctor, CKP sensor, timing cover, and Vortec distributor.
Where is the PCM located on a 1996n2002 small block engine?
All 1996ñ2002 Gen I small-block engines found in production vehicles use a 4x crankshaft reluctor. This reluctor is installed on the crankshaft in the front timing chain cover. Combined with a CKP sensor, the PCM uses the signal to determine engine position.
What is the crankshaft signal on a GM Gen III engine?
The Gen III PCM (GM#† 12200411) was also used with the 2001ñ2002 Gen I small-block and Vortec V-6 engines. While these engines are fitted with a low-resolution crankshaft signal, the crankshaft sensor principle is the same: a digital ON/OFF signal represents crankshaft location.
What does the camshaft position sensor do in a Nissan Altima?
P0340 2004 Nissan Altima Sedan Description The Camshaft Position Sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning. This information is used by the Engine Control Module(ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection.

EFI Connection eliminated the problematic Optispark distributor used with all Gen II LT1 and LT4 engines by using the same 24x small-block reluctor and a 1996ñ1997 LT1 timing cover.
What are the symptoms of a bad camshaft position sensor?
The engine may stall intermittently. You may notice poor engine performance including irregular acceleration, misfiring, hard starting, or surging. On some car models, a failed CMP sensor will prevent the ignition from making a spark, so that the engine won’t start at all.
