Standard Ignition PC243 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Chrysler and Jeep

Standard Ignition PC243 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built for accurate timing signal delivery across a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Jeep applications. It uses integrated digital signal processing and adaptive switching to improve signal accuracy while helping protect the system from electrical noise and power spikes.

Key Features

• Female oval plug-in connector with 3 male blade terminals
• Integrated A/D conversion and digital signal processing for stable output
• Adaptive switch point calibration for improved timing accuracy
• Circuit protection against stray electromagnetic fields and power spikes
• Performance-tested for timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude consistency
• Standard Ignition PC243 replacement for a broad range of service applications

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PC243 is an OE-style crankshaft position sensor for vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler Town & Country, and Dodge Caravan. It monitors crankshaft position and sends the engine control system the timing information needed for proper ignition and fuel management. The sensor is calibrated during manufacturing to help maintain accurate timing between the target wheel and sensor output, supporting consistent engine operation across the covered Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Jeep platforms. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-768 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft position signal loss
• Intermittent no-start conditions tied to timing input failure
• Rough running caused by inaccurate crank signal data
• Stalling related to unstable sensor output
• Check engine lights triggered by crank sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. This PC243 sensor uses a female oval connector with 3 blade terminals, so matching the harness connection is important for proper fitment. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering.
