In this video, I replace the camshaft position sensor in my 2003 Ford Ranger 3.0L. These instructions will work on 99 to 2008 Ford Rangers with 3.0L V6.

Thanks for the great video. I replaced mine recently after my engine died going up the pass but I have noticed a less than desirable idle afterward. I hope this fixes my idle too.

Sir I have a question for you I’ve got a 98 Ranger v6 4.0 OHV and I’m looking at a 99 engine so am I correct that the 99 went to the SoHC but you can switch them and it will still run? Please give me your input. Thank you!

So you are wanting to switch from a push-rod 4.0 to a SoHC 4.0, is that what you are asking?

Hey man I have a question can I just replace the sensor and not deal with the synchronizer?

@chasingmustangs Жыл бұрын

Yes you can replace just the sensor. If the unit is making noise or chirping, I would replace it.

Thank you for the video. Just to ask, I have a 04, same engine with 220K+. It has been throwing P0304/P0316 for a while. I'd read on Rangerstation that it could be valve seating. I haven't tried this repair yet and still need to a do a leak-down/compression test to rule out seating. That said, here are my questions: What codes (if an) were being thrown to prompt this repair? given that this video is now 6 months old, Has the repair held? What changes have you noticed (fuel/response) as both have suffered on mine. TIA and again, I appreciate the video.

Truck ran great for 6 months and then blow a head gasket. It's a rental truck so it was run into the ground. I am going to replace the engine as it is cheaper.

@@chasingmustangsthe only thing I disagree with is that you said to watch the oil pressure. the gauges on ranges just tells you the oil level , not the pressure . so watching that gauge does nothing

@LITTLEBRAT775081 What I was saying is the camshaft synconizer connects to the oil pump with a shaft. If not installed correctly, you would have no oil pressure because it is not spinning the oil pump.
