Another code 214 issue....

[russ hill]

OK, 1994 Explorer, 4.0 push rod motor...
I have a CEL, pulled the codes and got 214. Also... my scanner identifies the engine as a 4 Cyl. instead of 6? Those seem related somehow... Anyway, there is a lot of info here on the board, everybod seems to need a cam sensor.
Here's the thing that bugs me... The thing runs fine.... starts right up, idles great, pulls hard.... I have no driveability issues at all. There usually seem to be symptoms associated with a failed CMP but I have none. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Russ

I got this code when I cracked my cam sensor at the back of the motor. New motor and had to replace it. Mine like yours seemed to be running fine. Crappy gas milage was my only issue. Because as far as I can tell it only effects fuel injector pulse timing. Once I installed junk yard sensor I got for $9.99 no more code and better milage. PITA to get it right. Remove intake plugs and radiator to get to the part and find TDC on cylinder 1 voltmeter to measure when sensor picks up signal.... Blah blah blah

Remove intake plugs and radiator

Why did the radiator need to come out?
