Spectra S10080 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor for GM Applications

Spectra S10080 is an engine crankshaft position sensor that monitors crankshaft speed and position to support ignition timing and engine RPM signal input. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications, including 1994-1996 Buick Century and 1994-1996 Chevrolet Cavalier.

Key Features

• Measures crankshaft position and engine speed for ignition timing control
• Supports RPM and relative engine speed signal output
• OE-style replacement for distributor and ignition timing applications
• Cross-references Delphi SS10176 and Standard Ignition PC33
• Part number: S10080

Detailed Description

The Spectra S10080 crankshaft position sensor is built for vehicles that rely on accurate crank signal input for ignition timing and engine management. By tracking crankshaft movement, this sensor helps the engine control system determine when to fire the ignition and monitor engine speed without manual distributor timing. It is a practical replacement for select 1994-1996 Buick Century, Chevrolet Cavalier, Chevrolet Corsica, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and 1995-1996 Pontiac Sunfire models, plus 1996 Chevrolet S10, GMC Sonoma, and Isuzu Hombre applications.

This part cross-references Delphi SS10176 and Standard Ignition PC33 for the same application. Search terms such as crankshaft position sensor for 1994-1996 Buick Century, Chevrolet Cavalier crank sensor replacement, and Spectra S10080 ignition sensor help match this part to the correct vehicle.

What It Helps Resolve

• Hard starting caused by missing crankshaft position signal
• Intermittent stalling related to crank signal loss
• Incorrect ignition timing input
• Unstable engine RPM readings
• Distributor timing issues on supported applications

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, mounting location, and engine application before installation. Compare the original sensor to the Spectra S10080 and confirm vehicle year, make, and model match the listed fitment.
