Both my newer Ranger (3.0 Vulcan engine) and my Dodge minivan (3.3L) use a crank angle sensor, and a cam position sesor and have triple coil packs. How do they work? 'Very well.'

Rob,
Those systems are real easy to understand...
We called the FM systems. An abbreviation for F Magic.
It is all done with smoke and mirrors. You just watch, if the smoke leaks out, they quit working.
Most of the systems in use today need two sensors. Several manufactures tried to do it in a distributor body, but the gear lash to the crank position came to bite them. So, all new builds were designed with cam and crank sensors. The cam sensor is needed to reset the count so the computer knows when/where #1 fire is. The crank sensor is used to actually set up the spark timing.

Anthony,
You're right it is CRAZY!
The EFI must be something really special as the engine has no distributor and a coil over plug ignition system!

This conversation reminds of a good trivia question even if it is off topic. Can anyone name a V6 5 cam engine in recent history??

I await the answer. Only 5 shaft I am aware of was during WWII(The BIG one), but it wasn't a V6. The chrysler tank engine had five camshafts. I'd figure perhaps an F1 engine or a scooter engine or some such esoterica. You can win bar bets with a Lycoming falt engine cam, they have an odd number of lobes.

OK--it was the GM 3.4 L v6 pushrod engine that was converted to a dual overhead cam version (LQ1)for the FWD Monte Carlo and Pontiac Grand Prix. It was a real odd ball and a quick attempt at having a DOHC engine. The original chain driven cam was left in place to drive the oil pump and also drive the overhead cams via cogged belts.

Bob,
Aha! It was a trick question! The "original" cam didn't really function as a camshaft in as much it didn't actuate the valves!
Boy it's a good thing you answered this fairly quickly, the five (5) camshafts had me scratching my head and if you would have
waited much longer I would have a bald spot!
For those of you that are interested in Johnny's post here's a link to the Chrysler engine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_A57_multibank
In order to use existing tooling, five Chrysler 250.6 in3 (4.12 litre; 3.4375" {87.3 mm} bore and 4.50" {114.3 mm} stroke)[1] L-head
inline six cylinder engines were arranged around a central shaft, producing a unique 30 cylinder 21 litre (1253 in3)[1] engine in a
relatively compact but heavy package. The crankshafts were fitted with gears, which drove a sun gear arrangement.
Regards,
Rob

Bob,
That "camshaft" had no cam functions at all. (IIRC)
So,
If you are going to count that, then you also have to count the Jeep 3.7l V6 as it had a balance shaft in the middle of the V.
My favorite bet winner is the Jeep OHC 230 (not AMC233). It had a camshaft with six lobes only and may well still stand as the lowest volume production engine in recent history. (Less than 60K in five model years.

1962-1981 Called it the Tornado engine. Never owned one, but worked on a
few. Not a bad engine. 7 main bearings I think, and a nitrided crankshaft.

Fun stuff Matt, but I don't consider a balance shaft in the same league. It did drive the oil pump just like the original cam. Oh well, so much for trivia.

That Jeep engine was known as the Tornado. It was a product of Kaiser-Jeep. It was used from about 1962 to 1965. It was discontinued after 1965 as it was a complex engine and more expensive to produce. It was under square to have better low speed torque. The cam only had six lobes. Each lobe operated the intake and exhaust valve. This was the first overhead cam engine designed in the USA after WWII.
I owned a 1963 Jeep Wagoneer with that engine and I thought it was a really great engine.

That would have been fitted to a friend's mid 60s cabover style Jeep pickup? I'd love to have one of those. I dunno if they were any good but they looked all kinds of cool.
