Question: I’ve noticed different crankshaft sensors on 2.7L Hyundai engines. Is there a revised sensor, and if so, which one should I use?

Answer: The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding a revised crankshaft sensor for 2001-’02 Hyundai 2.7L engines. Since this engine was first designed, three crankshaft sensors have been used. The original design sensor should no longer be used. To help determine which sensor is appropriate for use, Hyundai has supplied visual aids for positive identification. Refer to the photos at left and part numbers below to select the proper crankshaft sensor. The current sensor has two different designs.

Part Number 39180-37200 (Photo 1): Inspect the CKP sensor. If the wiring of the CKP sensor comes out straight from the top of the sensor, replace the sensor.

Part Number 39180-37150 (Photo 2): If the wiring of the CKP sensor comes out at a 90° angle from the top of the sensor, do not replace the sensor.

Part Number 39180-37150 (Photo 3): If the wiring of the CKP sensor comes out straight from the top of the sensor and has a 90° plastic knob at the top of the sensor, then do not replace the sensor unless it is damaged.

A Rare Lincoln Blackwood Means A Hunt For Rare Parts

Episode 3 of Season 2 of The Road To AAPEX sets Joe Keene off on a search for parts to help restore the Blackwood.

Three thousand three hundred and fifty-six. That’s how many Lincoln Blackwoods exist in the world. For comparison, the Ford F-150—the Blackwood’s inspiration—has spawned more than 40 million since its launch in 1948. Guess which one is harder to track down parts for.

Babcox Media’s Joe Keene, an ASE-certified technician, has tracked down his fair share of elusive parts, but fixing up a Lincoln Blackwood for a cross-country drive on the Lincoln Highway to AAPEX 2023 is on another level. While the Blackwood shares many components with its sibling, the Lincoln Navigator, it’s those one-of-a-kind parts that make restoration a test of wills. Need a part for the signature tonneau cover? Good luck. Hoping to replace that distinct front fascia? Better have a network of salvage yards on speed dial. Luckily, Joe has the power of the automotive aftermarket behind him.
