    P0340 Help

    Ok so i may have figured out where the P0340 is coming from. When I bought the ex, i bought it from my brothers girlfriends little sister, and when u bought it she had lost the keys, and with it having PATS i had no way to start it. So i swapped out the computer and all PATS modules with ones i...

    P0340 Help

    Have a 1999 Ex with the 5.0. It had a P0340 code, so i replaced the alternator and replaced the camshaft synchronizer with a Motorcraft unit. It runs good, drives ok (transmission is going out, no plan on fixing it as i am scrapping it). All seemed to be ok, but the P0340 is back. I am getting...

    5.0 Camshaft Synchronizers

    5.0 Camshaft Synchronizers

    I have a 1999 Ex with a 5.0 in it, and i am using the engine, wiring and fuel system for a project. Before I begin tearing the truck apart, I want to get it running at its best. Currently it is throwing a P0340 code. I have done some research and it points to the camshaft synchronizer, and...

    Alternators

    I need a new alternator for my 1999 Ex with the 5.0. As far as i can tell, the 5.0 and the SOHC 4.0 use the same alternator, is this the case? My question is, will a SOHC alternator from a 3rd gen, lets say a 2002 work on my 5.0?

    Camshaft Position Sensor replacement--a bit of discussion

    Thought i would revive this thread instead of starting a new one. Looking into replacing the syncronizer in my 1999, and when ordering one, they list ones with a "step on plug" and ones with out. What does this mean? Which one would i need? Thanks in advance
