The measurement methods for the crankshaft position sensor are: 1. For magnetic-electric types, a resistance meter can be used to measure the resistance, with values typically ranging from several hundred to over a thousand ohms; 2. The engine can also be started to measure its voltage, which should increase as the engine speed rises. The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, specifically the crankshaft's angle and the engine speed. It usually works in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing. The crankshaft position sensor is typically installed at the front or rear of the crankshaft near the flywheel or in the middle of the crankshaft, making it one of the most important sensors in the control system.

What to do if the car engine is knocking?

When the knocking is slight, the engine power is slightly unstable, the engine shakes severely, and it will cause the engine to overheat and emit black smoke. The solutions for car engine knocking are as follows: 1. After the engine starts, if there is a knocking sound during low-temperature operation, and the sound disappears when the temperature returns to normal, it can be left untreated temporarily and continue to run. 2. When the engine temperature is normal, if there is an obvious knocking sound, high-speed operation should be avoided as much as possible, and the engine should be disassembled and repaired as soon as possible. 3. If the cylinder is severely out-of-round, scratched, or the gap between the piston and the cylinder is too large, it should be replaced. 4. If the connecting rod is found to be deformed, it should be replaced as much as possible.

How Long Does a Subaru Boxer Engine Last?

Subaru boxer engines generally last between 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers. More information about Subaru boxer engines is as follows: 1. The Subaru boxer engine can enhance performance on paved roads and also improve driving capability in adverse road conditions. When controlling drive on stable road surfaces, the flexible utilization of the motor's powerful torque and responsive sensitivity further enhances passability in challenging road conditions. 2. In vehicle configurations equipped with this engine, the addition of a rear support auxiliary frame increases the torsional rigidity of the wheels and the rigidity of the rear suspension auxiliary frame mounting points. This achieves performance equivalent to gasoline vehicles in all aspects, including handling stability, vibration and noise performance, and ride comfort.
