Technical What is the sensor on the oil pump housing inside the sump

[Wirdip]

Hi guys. Can't get my engine transplant to start. Someone said the sensor in the sump may be the cause. Anyone know what this does?? Tia

what engine ?

is it from a 169 ?

there's nothing on the 1.2 oil pump AFAIK

does it turn over ?
does the immobilizer light go out ?
doors it have the same cam timing ?

and so on

There is no sensor in sump, there one sensor near to sump near the crank pulley. If it is faulty or disconnected, the car wont start

That is probably the crank position sensor. If ECU does not detect crank movement the engine will never run.
