The sensor gap should point just close to the right of the clamp. This arrow points also the cam sensor connector. In the direction of the arrow of the tool, which is just to the right of the clamp that hold the synchronizer. I need to know where to make the camshaft sensor point when it's there. You just bolt the cam sensor and it reads the cam position by sensing the magnet already synchronised with the cam. No, 3.0L Taurus/Windstar, and 3.8L Windstar use a different degree settings.ģ.0L Taurus DOHC doesn't require degree set-up. I did some more research and found that all the engines seem to have different degree setting's and the 3.0 (4V) has a different set up. Way2old, does this apply to both 3.0's and also the 3.8 engines.

But you know that the one who is misaligned is not the camshaft, but the sensor's synchronizer, so you don't care.

#01 FORD MUSTANG HOW TO INSTALL CAMSHAFT SYNCHRONIZER CODE#
The reason why PCM gives code for camshaft/crankshaft out of sync, it's because PCM is afraid that camshaft sensor is not aligned with crankshaft which result in important engine damage. So the long as engine is running fine, he should be all right. Maybe at 5500 rpm engine can ping, but not necessary if he's lucky. Fuel timing is not that important.īecause it's an indirect fuel injection, you don't care if the fuel injector open few degrees earlier or later than normal, the long as it finishes spray fuel before intake valve open. He should have put cylinder #1 at TDC before removing the synchronizer, but Fuel injection synchronization doesn't require a such precision as the ignition synchronization. It's the case in Ford cars equipped with ignition distributor-less system.Ĭam sensor is used only to adjust fuel injector synchronization. Because in these cars, ignition is not synchronized with cam sensor, but only with crankshaft sensor. Ok, first, the timing light is useless to test camshaft/camshaft sensor alignment.
