Camshaft Synchronizer

The camshaft synchronizer is a mechanism that keeps track of the exact point of rotation of the camshaft. It also helps transmits the information to your vehicle's powertrain control module.

Camshaft synchronizer function

The camshaft synchronizers are items that take the place of the older model ignition distributor. The distributor was utilized as a mechanical device that was able to disperse sparks to all the cylinders at the exact time frames. The synchronizers are used on ignition systems but do not have any distributors to provide electronic substitutions. This enhances the engine and the performance quality of the vehicle.

Common issues with a faulty camshaft synchronizer

A faulty camshaft synchronizer can cause stalling, a decline in engine performance, and poor fuel economy.
