Why doesn't the crankshaft speed sensor work?
Years 1955-1969

Answer

The crankshaft speed sensor has the purpose of counting the engine revolutions. If it doesn't work well, the machine may not start or even stop. The cables must therefore always be intact and short circuits must not be created. In case of replacement of the crankshaft sensor if it is faulty, it is advisable to contact an authorized workshop to carry out the diagnosis first, always choose a sensor model that is compatible for your car.
