1994 ford explorer xlt
ordered just the sensor from advanced Wells Vehicle Electronics Camshaft Position Sensor Part No. SU8468

ended up being wrong part? ... these units have been changed over the years there is currently a verticle connector in the truck so i assume it is more like the 95 windowed syncronizer unit I have a 94 XLT cant seem to find that sensor by itself anyone have a link or pic of the part of whats under the two torx screws on the syncronizer or the cardon model


id rather have an original rebuilt unit any other ideas would be good too ..... how are performance chips some people pull out the fuel resistor ? ?

ive replaced most of the sensors in the truck and briefly the truck runs correctly my fear is that it is being retarded or I have a more seriouse oil slip problem as it seems to get retarded and there is more vibration from the running engine than i remember with fords
and slow 0-60 and passing hoping it is just timing time for a pro I get a 111 but the run time test i havnt been able to do it is tougher to do without real scope and obd 1

when returning the part of course there were questions the part dealer went into the hall effect of the combination of sensors yea i got a matched set alright duh.......

p.s couldnt find a knock sensor located externally on the case

There's an octane shorting bar, if that's what you're referring to, which retards timing. I'm not sure why you'd want to mess with that though unless you were having severe detonation issues due to bad gas/high temps.

True performance "chips" are few and far between. A common one that is real is the JET chip, though from what little I've heard it's not necessarily worth the money. Other eBay "chips" are usually junk, typically just glorified resistors that override air charge temp or coolant temp sensors. They do more harm than good.

Henson Performance can do dyno tuning on the first gen Explorer, but without other mods expect to spend a lot for a small gain.

You can tune the stock PCM with a TwEECer or Moates Quarterhorse but unless you spend a lot of money you'll be writing the tune yourself.

For your CMP sensor issue, I'd look for a junkyard unit or cross reference the Ford part number on your old sensor with the new/reman unit. RockAuto usually lists the OEM part numbers for cross reference.
 






truck needs a 4 barrel I might try a maf mod quarter horse guys told me that there was no product for the 94 im going to take the brain out for a look see (caps) ..then drop the cat for looksee should be a separate part the sensor sits on top of the syncro assembly
