Position sensor problems

I was doing some trial fitting after downloading CAD data for the smallest MTS linear position sensor I found at this point in time. At first I thought it would be too big but I am going to spend some time trying to tweak it into position to see if that is the case before deciding to not use this sensor. If I can make it work out, the pushrod will be a part of the actuator itself. Increasing the bore for the position sensors also created clearance problems for the caps that will seal the actuator bore. This problem can be remedied easily but I can see that this entire area will be problematic to the water jacket plates regardless. I will try contacting MTS to see if they offer a smaller sensor. If they do not, hopefully I can get this one to work.

  1. Try visiting this site Potentiometer. I think they could solve your problem up.

  2. Did you solve your problem?? I was visiting your site from time to time if you did solve your prob. If you do, I hope you can post something so that I would know the answer. Thanks a lot

  3. Thanks for the link. I checked those sensors a while ago but stuck with the MTS design because it is a non-contact design. I have decided to custom design a position sensor and hope to have pictures of it in a few days. Thanks again for your interest and support.

  4. Ohhh..I see. Sorry that it took me long for reply. Im excited to see the pictures you said. Hope you can post it later on...

  5. I will be posting them soon. There are a lot of changes I am making and new parts being added so it is taking me a while.

  6. Throttle position sensors (TPS)sensors attach directly to the valve shaft where it sticks out of the throttle body and tell the computer how far the throttle has been opened.

  7. the sensor behind the crank pulley is the speed fluctuation sensor and is only used on OBD2 - if you are running the engine with the OBD0 ECU, you don't need that sensor - just leave it not connected - the TD18U distributor is the factory distributor for the 90-91 CRX Si D16A6, 90-91 Civic Si/EX D16A6 and 90-91 CRX HF D15B6 - the TD18U is the correct distributor for the PM6 ECU - you could also use the TD02U which is the same thing but came in the 88-89 models

  8. Sometimes the sensor may become burnt or worn out. The most likely causes of crankshaft position sensor failure are exposure to extreme heat when you have a gasket or crank problem, corruption from oil or other engine fluids that leaked onto the sensor, or wear over a long period of time.
