function of the crank/rpm sensor???? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Mad Finn on  Thu Dec 11 01:04 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Recently my car wouldn't start, replaced the crank sensor, and that fixed the problem.

After reading a lot of posts regarding the sensor, it sounds like, when the car is running and the transmission is rotating, if the sensor stops working, it doesn't see the tranny spinning, and the car stalls, sounds ok to me.

My question is (and let me start by saying I don't know all that much about how all this works), like in my situation, the car isn't running in the first but just won't start, (sothe tranny isn't spinning) how does the crank sensor prevent the car from starting?

Thanks
