FordTechMakuloco Hi, I’m a new subscriber to your videos. Lots of great information. I have a 2012 Escape and I looked through the library to see if I can find anything regarding the constant vibration when idling with the 2.5L engine. Have you ever done any diagnostics on this issue? Ford doesn’t seem to have a fix for it even after having the issue for several years. I did read once that replacing the motor mounts with aftermarket ones can help because Fords are too stiff. Another issue I have is a front end rattle when going over bumps either left or right. I have replaced the sway bar links but not the bushings. I have checked the front end several times both loaded and unloaded and I can’t find anything that would create the noise. The struts are original at 140,000 KM. Could they be worn out? I’m tempted to just replace them and the control arm assemblies at the same time and be done with it. Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.

FordTechMakuloco will a phaser cause all 4 coils not to fire? I have a 04 F150 with the 3v 5.4. The phaser was knocking the noise when away about 1500 to 2000 miles later it starting skipping I check the coils and that whole side is not firing any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

FordTechMakuloco I followed your videos and changed the entire timing system , timing cover, and left side valve cover. My 5.4L ran great for two days at all speeds , then suddenly the car went back to a rough idle and gave me codes P0018 and P0022, saying "camshaft position correlation" and "A- camshaft position , timing over-retarded" I disconnected and reconnected VCT VALVES which didn't fix it, I also changed out cam shaft sensors which did not help. I am still getting these codes and a "check gauges message just like the symptoms were before. I bought all OEM parts. everything went smoothly until now and I'm dreading having to take the timing cover back off. What should/ can I do next? You're the professional and I await your knowledge. Thanks for all the great informal videos.

I have a 13 expedition for a little over a year now an I started getting a rough idle and then camshaft position codes, it looked like someone was in there doing valve cover gasket’s so I pulled the cover off and one of the tangs on bank one was bent forward and it chewed up the sensor. I bent it back straight and thought I was done after replacing the damaged sensor, but when I was done and started the truck it ran rough again and threw the light on. So now I’m thinking check bank 2, well bank 2 was perfect. Long story short now two days later and it seems ok. Also did all new Motorcraft coils as well. Under the valve covers the engine is spotless 150k and it looked like 20k. Eventually I will get a timing job done since the phasers aren’t ford and I don’t want to take a chance. I just wish that you were in NY cause I would absolutely bring it to you. Thanks for all the information you give to us all. 👍

I replace that camshaft position sensor because it was bad but I'm still getting the same code. Watching your videos one of them led me to believe it was just my VCT valves going out but now I'm not so sure and think I may have to at least replace my cam phasers if not have an entire timing job done.

I'm hoping this is the problem with the junkyard reman engine we just put in our 05 f150. It's an engine out of an 07 expedition that was replaced in 09 according to the tag on the side. I have p0340 and p0344. Runs smooth no misfire or loss of power. Just using a cen-tech scanner from harbor freight so I can only get so much info. But from what I have gathered it's in time. So hopefully when I pull the valve covers it's just this simple fix, it honestly looked when I had the valve covers off for the solonoids the phasers looked brand new.

Currently dealing with chasing down an issue. I had no CEL and all of a sudden my truck stalled while reversing, I cranked it on and drove hm. I pulled codes and got multiple Tb codes. I replaced the tb motor and the Tb codes didn’t go away even after clearing. It then went into limp mode (cel light and wrench lights came on) there was no acceleration. I then got a dorman tb and swapped that on. I was able to accelerate but it stalled again while reversing. Pulled it inside and the code was P0340 and P1000. I sent it to the shop because that was the first time seeing that code. They got an imrc code but I figured it was for my intake and I put my tune that’s required for the intake back on the truck. That code cleared and there’s no CEL ever since installing the Tb. They referred me to a ford specialist as they found nothing wrong with wiring. The ford specialist had me go get a ford Tb from dealership and cleared codes but the imrc came back on so he’s pulling the intake manifold now. I need help because I’m scared they’re gonna do that and a new code pop up

Hi all. Wondering if you guys could help me with an issue I’m having. 2010 f150 xlt v8 5.4. 140k miles Pickup drives five but every now and then (not always) when I come to an idle, or take off of the accelerator at a low speed or come to a stop and the vehicle comes to idle my engine starts to do what I can only describe as a “clunky shake”. The shaking goes away if I bring the RPM’s up, and stays gone once the rpms drop back down to where they were when it started. My power seems fine at most speed and my acceleration seems fine. Thoughts? Thanks for the help. I’m in a very rural area so I would like to have a good idea of my issue before I venture way out of my way to a reputable mechanic. Some people have told me phasers, more people have told me spark plugs are bad and misfiring.

Working on a 07 Mustang 4.6l. The customer timed his own engine. runs poor and has Cam Sensor Circuit A Bank 2 code. (Bank 1 popped up once) Checked both cam outputs with a scope. They line up perfectly. Bank 1 has a little bit of AC ripple and Bank 2 has random +/- spikes. Just to make sure it wasn't being hit with ignition, injector, or Alternator EMF I unplugged all of these things. Code comes right back on every time. I am at my wits end, I just want to know if a test light connected to B+ should light KOEO on the output wire for the Cam sensor to know for sure the PCM is even getting the signal. In my case this is a variable reluctance sensor. Edit: Tried to check cam phasing but the phasers stay in open loop. I'm guessing this PCM is programmed to ignore cam inputs once it has that code stored.

@wildduckfu 3 жыл бұрын

I got the 0345 code almost a year after my timing job. Open up the valve cover and sure enough the tone ring finger was bent. Why it took so long to trip the code? I'll never know.

Ha! Gm engine giving problems. Buddy the one reason this man has all these followers is because were all living proof that fords have the worst engineering. ill take a gm oil issue over a ford phaser , pats, 4x4 hub, fusebox rot, timming issue any day. Gm is the most reliable. the hype with fords is the moster truck look to them, thats all but the idiots that designed it put the engine inside the cabin. Idiots. Hey on the bright side fordtechmakuloko business will thrive.👍🏼 Ford is a piece of crap because they never owned up on these phaser issues with a recall as customer loyalty. they screwed us all.

Ok I need help im puzzled. I didn't a timing job and my wife's 08 expedition 5.4. After start up it ran great and while charging the ac it popped p0340 and p0344 run like crap. So I did like you say and unplugged the VCT solenoid and cleaned codes and started it up after a few seconds it cleared right up run good again. Plugged it back up and after a few minutes again. Unplugged it again and again run good again. Plugged it back up and now running good but stumbling alittle after I let off the throttle but idles great. Whats going on here? Is it the vct solenoid or the phraser sticking? Please answer I need your advice.

So i got a new motor , changed every sensor , replaced a pig tail , ran these test the alternator test only threw 1 code P0345 so i ruled that out. VCT test on the other hand threw 1 code and it was P0020 so i figured it was that.. in order to replace it i had to remove the valve cover so i decide to check the ears on the phaser there all straight.. Had timing checked while cover was off, timing is on.. Now my live data test showed the VCT's stayed at 0 No fluctuation at all.. ive been working on this truck for years please help aha..

I wish you were closer. You would definitely be the guy to work on my trucks. But 1 question, I have a 2008 f250 with 5.4, it has 283,000 miles and has had the tick since 180, with this many miles, should I just wait for it to blow up, or still have the timing job done? I bought it with 100,000 miles, and have ran synthetic since then. Any help is appreciated!

how does alternator effect cam circuit code and how did that tone ring not cause vct error but a tooth off would.. just wondering again im trying to learn.. thank you

@joeclark8029 6 жыл бұрын

great content as usual. my question is when cam timing is off say a tooth the vct error pid offers to the right of zero so far but how does the cam being off a tooth change the error if the computer isn't commanding the solenoid, how is the error pid changing.. if you could shed some light on this that would be sweet.. thanks again

@jeremybrewer7308 5 жыл бұрын

if anyone can help. 2007 f150 5.4 did timing job with ford phasers, timing chains and tensioners. checked timing 4 times. all checks told to check after job. still producing p0345 in pending intermittently. now after i did timing job drove veh. over a hundred miles. did smog etc.. no issues. ran great. after veh. sold customer/states veh. stalled sounded like diesel. code 345 pending. deleted and did all checks to check timing with out pull valve cover. checked vcterr pids. both dead 0 deg. at idle. did a relative compression check. perfect. all within .1 deg. have yet to reproduce code. only thing i know i have now replaced was the vct solenoids themselves because when i removed to do timing they had been replaced already. not ford. look like dorman solenoids. however every test has passed and 345 has yet to be reproduced.

I'm only getting code P0345 (06 Mustang Gt 4.6 3V) on start up only, I can clear the code and drive it for any amount of miles with no code, as soon as I get back in and start the engine boom code PO345! The Engine is new with around 4000 miles, the builder (BRENSPEED) put in all new FRPP timing components, Phasers, lifters, Cam followers etc.... If timing is off on bank 2 would the code come on during a drive or wot pull? I already did a compression test, all cylinders are within 5 pounds. Any help would be appreciated.
