CMP Sensor (HVS) in Distributor

The CMP sensor is located in the distributor base. The distributor is driven by the camshaft and distributes the secondary voltage to the spark plugs through the distributor rotor, cap, and wires. The CMP sensor produces a signal once every revolution of the camshaft. The CMP signal identifies the position of the #1 cylinder relative to the crankshaft.
