The crank sensor in a 2002 Mazda Protege is located at the bottom of the engine, close to the crankshaft. Its primary function is to detect the rotation of the crankshaft. By providing information on the crankshaft's position in its rotation, the crankshaft position sensor enables the ECU to adjust air fuel and spark timing for proper combustion in the cylinders. If you experience rough engine operation or difficulty starting, it may indicate a faulty sensor. Ignoring this issue could result in misfires and engine knocking, making it important to replace the sensor if it malfunctions.
