Front crank pos.sensor necessary?
Hey,
Is the front crank position sensor necessary on a VQ30DE? Apparently the front sensor is called the "REF" sensor with the rear one being called the "POS" sensor which makes me think it is for reference or back up incase the main one on the flywheel malfunctions.
350Z's apparently use the camshaft pos. sensor for back up and have no front or "REF" crank pos. sensor at all.
The reason I ask is I'm using a Z oil pan which has no mounts for the front crank pos. sensor and I'm trying to determine if I really even need it (as long as the main on on the rear stays working).
thanks
