camshaft position sensor

As stated in a previous post, I have multiple codes on my 2003 Ford Explorer Centennial Edition, 4.6L. After testing my alternator I figured most of them were due to it being weak. After removing countless alternators at the junkyard and testing them outside of the vehicle, I finally found one...

I have a 1997 Ford Aerostar with the 3.0L Vulcan engine, 86,000 miles. My check engine light is on, and it has the following error codes: P0340 - CMP sensor circuit fault P0340-C CMP sensor circuit malfunction I have an obd 2 cable, and I use obd 2 software called FORScan, so I can reset the...

on my 1995 4.0 OBD1 I have the what I thought was a camshaft position sensor issue but I have no codes. No engine light blinking. Anybody had this experience ? It is not a constant noise. Often goes away if I restart engine. Fluctuates with rpm. When it happens and shift into neutral it...

Hi I am a new member and I just bought an Explorer about 2 weeks ago. I got it, it wasn't quite running well, I pulled the codes up and it was throwing a code for the camshaft position sensor. I did a tune up (spark plugs, wires, oil, all filters), changed camshaft position sensor and the car...

I'm getting a P0340 code on my '99 F150 v6 4.6 liter engine. Reading these forums, I know that this isn't all that uncommon. I know Rock Auto has the part for about 16 bucks and if I replace it I will need an OTC 6469 Camshaft Sensor Synchronizer Tool and that it could also be the voltage...

Hello everyone, I am fairly new posting here but I use this site a lot to help me fix my explorer but I recently came across a problem that I can not figure out. I have a 2000 ohv ford explorer that I did an engine swap in and I put a 99 ohv in it. After putting the engine in I found that the...

Excuse the spelling on the last one, but I took my 94 explorer with a 4.0 that I just bought for a diagnostic and these are the 3 major things they told me needed replacing. They said they aren't in need of being fixed immediately but will give me trouble down the line. Can someone explaine to...

Has anyone replaced a "Camshaft Position Sensor" on a 5.0 liter (1997) AWD Explorer? I have the part; it looks like two screws are all it takes . . HOWEVER . . . there is alot of talk about bringing #1 cylinder to top-dead-center ("TDC") & the use of a special tool for the job (which I'm...

just to be of help to anyone else on this forum, as you all have been so kind to me - I have had to recently: replace the CEL lamp replace the camshaft sensor (looks simple but has a nasty gotcha) can advise anyone on these two issues, have pics as well. Im still not done yet as the...

Have a 1994 Ford Explorer 5 door. When accelerating between 65 to 78 the car chugs and jerks. I had one of these replaced before and it has corrected the problem but due to a mouse in my car the original paperwork has been lost. Any help would be appreciated. I do remember the mechanic saying...

Does anyone know where this is? I've read its on the back of the block, dead center. Problem is the back of the block is against the firewall and near impossible to see, even with a mirror. What does the sensor look like? Which way to access, top, bottom or through the wheel well? I'd love to...
