Abstract: A crank angle sensor comprises a rotor plate formed with first slits for detecting a first cylinder angular position, second slits for a second cylinder angular position, and a third slit for detecting an angular position of a specified cylinder. The first slits are equi-angularly distant one after another and arranged within a predetermined annular band within the rotor plate, and the second slits are equi-angularly distant one after another and arranged within the predetermined annular band. Each of the first slits is located adjacent to the corresponding one of the second slits.
