It tells the computer when the crankshaft passes a certain point as it rotates. I had one go out - it actually physically broke, and pulled away from the opening in which it sits. For a while it was just intermittant, but then it gave out on my way to work one day, and I had to have the car towed to the dealer.

I had refused to have it replaced earlier, so it was kind of embarassing to go back in and say "You were right, it gave out". Especially since the person telling me was a very good looking young blonde that you wouldn't have believed would want to know about position sensors. Unless, of course she was the owner's daughter, which she was.

I believe without it, the computer doesn't know where it should cause the spark to ignite the fuel. The way I understand it, there is something on the crank - probably a magnet that the sensor sees go by to tell the engine when the magnet passes the sensor. This whole electronic set then replaces the old timing light, twist the distributor kind of setting the timing.

Mortal humans can no longer adjust the timing, it is set by a wonk in the design department of the car manufacturer, and there it stays. You and I have lost one more thing we can do on cars. I see why geezers like me get into historical cars..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
