Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) announced the expansion of its Camshaft and Crankshaft Position Sensor program with late-model coverage for import and domestic vehicles.

Camshaft and crankshaft position sensors measure the relative position of the cam and crank, as well as the rotational speed and whether they are accelerating or decelerating. These sensors are highly complex, measuring and processing in real time, and even the slightest delay or inaccuracy can affect timing, impacting engine performance, fuel economy and emissions, according to SMP. Accuracy, speed, and durability are the most important characteristics of a properly functioning sensor, and Standard engineers and manufactures its Cam and Crank Position Sensors to meet these requirements, SMP said.
