I got an idea for where else to wrap your battery cable.
Now that we have discussed the crankshaft position sensor (CKP), I suppose that it is only fitting that we delve into the camshaft position sensor (CMP). As I am sure you are aware, the cam gear (or gears) are driven by the crankshaft gear via a chain or belt. This is a 4 stroke engine (compression/power/exhaust/intake strokes), so keep in mind that to get one full revolution of the camshaft (or camshafts), the crankshaft has to make two complete revolutions.
We can get deeper into the mechanical aspects of valve timing if you wish, but it should be becoming clear, from an electrical perspective, why the computer (PCM, ECM, ECU) needs to know where the camshaft is in relationship to the crankshaft in order to achieve proper ignition timing. And please note that this time I specified ignition timing versus valve timing. -

You are way off topic. We dont want to kniw anymore about sensors. Ok?

Actually, it is a sensor communicating with your computer that accounts for the CEL which was in the title of your OP. -

Dont tell me what my topic is about. I made the damn thing. I knew my motivation. Hint; it had nothing to do with reading your detailed explanation and providing mechanic advice.

Your "check engine" light is on
was the title of your thread.
I am happy I was able to help you out.
regardless of any CEL, what you need to remember about an internal conbution engine is that in order for it to run, it needs three things:- the ability to make compression
- a
combustible mixture
of fuel & air - spark
at the right time
.
If your engine has those three components,
it will run
.

At least dicuss what tools are used to repair problem. Jfc. Youre just repeating yourself over and over again. Learn how to participate in a discussion. Jfc

Unfortunately, prior to selecting the right tools for the job, one has to diagnose the issue. The tools for the job will also vary depending upon the make and model of the vehicle one is working on. This is the reason that mechanics literally own thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of tools.
However, the basics would be a set of 1/4" drive, 3/8" drive, 1/2 " drive metric sockets, and metric combination wrenches from 10 mm up to 20 mm. A good digital multimeter will be helpful for troubleshooting electrical problems. That will get you started for a lot of jobs, but before it is over, you will have to go way beyond this list. -

Okay you can go away now. End of discussion.

We should probably take these issues- the ability to make compression
- a combustible mixture of fuel & air
- spark at the right time.
If your engine has those three components, it will run.
one issue at a time.

It's okay. Talking about car mechanics is boring me.

Start another topic for it. Bye, nimda
To start out with, to ensure that you are familiar with the concept of compression, we should probably review the four strokes of a four-stroke engine. -
