I found several threads here related to cam sensors but I can't find anything with exactly what I am looking for.
I have a 1998 Explorer 4.0 OHV, that had cracked heads, ended up getting a replacement engine. What we didn't notice before installing the engine is the cam sensor was different. I have found that the engine was from a 2000. The 98 cam sensor had a 3 wire plug. The 2000 engine has a 2 wire cam sensor. The older sensor will not just bolt in place of the new one. What I am wondering is can I get away with changing the plugs from the 3 wire to 2 wire and if so which wire would we eliminate.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
