Indeed.

Although these are much clearer (and are cropped, without that massive useless blank area):



And you really need to learn how to make descriptive thread titles. What makes you think that 'where is' is an appropriate and valid title? You've been here since '02, surely you've read the forum guidelines at least once;

And of course, this extends to the body of your post. Please be as descriptive as possible.

Why couldn't that be your thread title?

Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.

sorry about the post, and another question

does dirt affect the operation of the crank sensor? Another poster said that but seems if it was a magnetic operation dirt would have no effect??
Opinion?

Depends on whether you mean 'dirt' in a literal sense, or that it's just dirty. Ferrous metal shavings on the sensor can throw off the readings, yes.
