How does a camshaft synchronizer work in a car?
Camshaft synchronizers are devices that are driven off camshafts and couple up with sensors to tell the powertrain computers of cars exactly what point of rotation the camshaft is currently located. Then, the information that is extracted from the sensor is utilized by the powertrain computer to time the spark…
How many degrees can a camshaft be out of sync?
And the car can tolerate up to 12degrees differences in camshaft and crankshaft sensor. I’ve seen old timing chain engines with the chain worn badly enough that the cam timing is retarded 5-10 degrees.
Why are the timing marks on my camshaft out of sync?
The cam and crank sensors must be synced exactly. It doesn’t matter if the belt is made of rubber. It’s a reinforced rubber belt so it can’t stretch to compensate for the mistiming. This shows how the timing marks must align exactly when installing the timing belt on your engine. http://www.ricekiller.com/forums/thread76681.html
Why is the camshaft out of sync on my Chrysler 300M?
They are out of sync and suggest that I should bring back to the dealer who replaced the timing belt. When I brought the car to the dealer, they told me that chrysler 300m 2004 tolerates up to 12 degrees difference so the cam and crankshaft are not out of sync. Nothing to do with the timing belt that they installed.

How to remove the camshaft synchronizer on a Ford Ranger?
It will show the location of the camshaft synchronizer, the removal process, and the installation. Note, before removing the camshaft synchronizer, make sure you mark the location of the housing and tab with a magic marker to ensure the replacement camshaft synchronizer goes in exactly the same way.

What happens to the crank sensor on a GMC?
The crankshaft sensor on GMC vehicles is synced to the powertrain control module, or PCM. When the crank sensor is replaced, it must be resynced to the PCM. Without resyncing, the PCM cannot properly determine the position of the crankshaft.
