Crankshaft position sensor ring has come loose also the spacer. How do I reposition the ring to get the right firing order? I already have the engine at top dead center.I have a new crankshaft sensor which I haven't installed yet.

Hi ch12ck,

Thank you for the donation.

I hope I got your question correct.

The crankshaft sensor ring/plate is attached to crankshaft sprocket as an assy with 2 spring pins and spacer on outer assy to hold them together. If the sensor plate has come loose, you need to remove the sprocket to reattach the plate and if it is damaged too badly, you would need to replace the sprocket.

When reinstalling the sprocket plate, ensure the outer edge is tapered towards the engine, ie away from the timing belt.

The item shown is # 30 in diagram.
