Detailed Description

The SKP SK917796 is an engine crankshaft position sensor used to report crankshaft position and rotational speed to the vehicle control system. That signal is critical for ignition timing and engine operation on the listed Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Ford Mustang, Ford Explorer Sport, and Mercury Mountaineer fitments. When replacing a failed sensor, the SK917796 helps restore the input the engine computer relies on for proper timing calculations.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 917796, PC352) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring crankshaft position signal loss
• Addressing engine stalling or no-start conditions related to sensor failure
• Correcting erratic ignition timing input
• Replacing a worn or malfunctioning crankshaft sensor
• Supporting proper engine speed monitoring

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, mounting location, and engine application against the original sensor before installation. Confirm the part number SK917796 against the vehicle catalog and inspect the harness and connector for damage during replacement.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement parts are cataloged for direct-fit service applications and are intended to match the listed vehicle fitments for straightforward parts selection.
