How much longer do I have lol (cam code)

[1BADHRSE]

Car runs fine just hesitates once and a while but I keep throwing these two codes and random misfire... 6,000+ (hard miles) on the twin turbo motor fully tuned on stock bottom end with hot rod cams...

Probably going to pull the cam sensors clean them and see if that helps... If not where can I buy them... Thanks guys...

I had to replace mine about 1 month ago. But mine ran like complete shit when they went..

When i put the new motor in i had these codes keep coming up and the car felt as it was bogging and not timed right. Kept going back over my timing chains and and gears but everything was good. Ending up being a bad phaser. Replaced it and everything was good. Could be something different but that was my experience

How were your cars acting??? Mine just will fall on it's face randomly if I am cruising in gear and smash it... Feels almost like ignition cut, I was thinking about going back over my wot box install seeing if my solders....

I bought my sensors from the Ford dealership, I think they were around $50 a piece. It was over a year ago I replaced mine.

That 0340 will also show up with an alternator going bad.

Mine was undrivable..It felt like it was running on 4 cylanders..Idle was way off. I am lucky i didnt blow it up it, it was way out of whack..It "sounded" like an ignition issue, but it wasnt..

Steedman was your tune affected at all??? Where did you purchase yours??

Also how do I know if it's my alternator... She has taken a beating with shit batteries... My volts gauge stays at 14 though...

Nope, not at all.. I had my service dept. take care of it under, um..cough warranty..They just ignore my blower and cams and meth and everything else, lol..

Check the voltage when it's running. If you can datalog PCM voltage, do it!
I watched my voltage vary from 13-6-13.9 volts one day, then later same day from 12.6-13.0, getting lower and lower. Car still ran, but threw P0340 codes each time voltage dipped below 13.5.
For grins, I checked the a/c voltage while running, and it was 31 volts a/c!!! YIKES! And 13.7 dc at the time.

I've put in a new PA 200 amp alternator and have not checked the voltage, but will tomorrow.

My vote is it may be the Alt just like mine did... It threw that code also and I had the Alt tested and it was going bad.
I took mine to Walmart and they came out with a hand held tester and it printed out the info right there.
So I just upgraded to a 200a alt that I bought off ebay. Not a problem since, no codes or anything.

How much that alternator run you... I have a feeling the amount of times I have jumped my car and ran her to no batt might be contributing... I still want to change the cam position sensors....

 

[Stangcrazygirl]

I can't find it on my ebay page anymore so... I think it was around $100 dollars, maybe a little more.


That is what my car was doing, I had to jump it off every few days. It was not my battery, I had it checked first.

 

[Stangcrazygirl]

Here it is, I found it! This is the exact one I bought, from the same company.

Just saying you gotta do what you gotta do, the stock battery was a piece of shit... lol

You still have the part numbers laying around by any chance???

 

[TexasBlownV8]

Damn good price on a reman. Much less than a new PA one.

 

[1BADHRSE]

Just picked up the two cam sensors for 35each gonna see if that's the issue tomorrow...

You should have taken that $70 and put it towards an alternator.
