The crankshaft position sensor is responsible for detecting the position of the crankshaft and sending this information to the engine control unit (ECU). This information is used by the ECU to control the timing of the fuel injection and ignition.
If the crankshaft position sensor is not working properly, the ECU will not be able to receive the correct information about the position of the crankshaft. This can cause the engine to run erratically or not at all.
In some cases, a bad crankshaft position sensor can also cause the engine to stall while driving.
If you are experiencing problems with your 1996 Mirage starting or running, it is possible that the crankshaft position sensor is the cause.
You should have the sensor tested by a qualified mechanic to determine if it is faulty. If the sensor is found to be faulty, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
