    Replacing Camshaft Position Sensor on '95 3.8L V6

    DP, first check your coolant level. Sounds like it is low. Open up the radiator cap to check it, not just the coolant overflow tank. Make sure the engine's cool though, you don't want to burn yourself. Good luck.

    SPIT & SPUTTERING?

    Do you mean it runs fine for the first 4-5 minutes or so after a cold start? If so, then the trouble is after it goes into closed loop and is probably sensor related. Is the CEL lit? I'd try pulling the codes first and see if any shows up...

    wont rev past 3000rpm?

    Usually a low power at higher rpm situation is MAF related. You say you've replaced the MAF sensor 3 times and still get a code for it.....? What is the code number? Depending on the specific code, you might have to test the wiring between the MAF and ECM. There's also a chance the plug-in...

    Timing belt 10 degrees off

    Now this is a real mystery. Might be worthwhile to doublecheck the cam sprocket for another keyway slot that would align the cam to 0*. There may have been some differences between the Ranger and Mustang engines.....??? Or maybe the cam timing between the two....??? There's two different...

    Timing belt 10 degrees off

    If the head has been milled that will throw off the sproket alignment. There are adjustable cam sprokets available, that will get it centered again.....

    Replacing Camshaft Position Sensor on '95 3.8L V6

    Darkprincess, the cam position sensor consists of two units, a syncronizer shaft and a sensor that bolts on top of the shaft assembly. Chances are, all you need is the sensor part. A special alignment tool is not required to replace the sensor; it attaches with 2 small bolts and a wiring plug...

    Replacing Camshaft Position Sensor on '95 3.8L V6

    Thanks 2much, I appreciate it. And yes, I believe she did pick up the part at AutoZone. I hear what you're saying since I've run into the same thing with the wrong parts from them before.:bang: Her CEL came on a couple weeks ago, and I was confused at first because I thought it was OBD I...

    Aod problem

    I'm typing from memory here, but there's a speed governor located in the tailshaft of the A4LD that tends to stick. When it does, the trans acts like you describe. It can be replaced or freed up by removing the tailshaft housing with the trans still in the vehicle. I haven't actually done...

    Replacing Camshaft Position Sensor on '95 3.8L V6

    My daughter has a 95 that I was changing the cam sensor out on this weekend, and I ran into the same problem that Nicbait did. The parts store gave us the wrong sensor. The one on the car has "Non-Adjustable" on the cover and is larger than the one that is listed for a 95. There must have...

    I need some tips for my mini-stock.

    Yes, the Ranger exhaust manifold would be much better. It has longer runners than the Mustang's, and will give better flow and more torque. Don't know if the intake is any different.....? Can't help much with the other questions..... OK, where can I get one of those 5.7 :eek: stroker...

    Uh oh, engine codes

    All of that tends to point to the MAF as being the problem. I'd also try cleaning it before replacing. If you haven't done it before, do a search for "cleaning MAF" and you'll get lots of info on it. Also check for vacuum leaks in the airtube between the MAF and throttle body. Make sure the...

    Uh oh, engine codes

    Ima, are these codes from your 92? Any problems with how it runs? The 56 and 66 are probably MAF related, and the 65 could be from the engine not being warmed up during the test and still being in open loop. First thing to try is to un-plug the MAF sensor, and spray the connector with some...

    Mystery start problem 2.3 non-T efi

    Terramir, the 32 is EGR sensor related; the sensor should be located on top of or near the EGR valve. It'll have wires going to it. The code says the signal voltage has gone below closed limit or set limits, so I'd suspect the sensor being faulty. Very common on Ford vehicles, the exhaust heat...

    Flowmaster or Dynomax?

    If you're looking for something a little different in a muffler, consider a MAC FlowPath. They have a very high flow, no packing, and reduce noise by the "Helmholz" method. Should go good with a turbo. Granted I haven't heard one on a 2.3, but I have one on a Bronco and it sounds very unique...

    Mystery start problem 2.3 non-T efi

    The 43 is the code to start with. It indicates an O2 sensor showing a lean condition, assuming the engine was fully warmed up when the test was run. Might change the sensor to fix. The 32 is probably a bad EVP (EGR valve position) sensor. Very common problem on Fords. The 75 is a BOO...

    Door Hinge Pin Replacement?

    My daughter has a 95 with the dreaded sagging door (driver's side). I picked up a set of new hinge pins and bushings, and wonder if there's any tricks or tips in installing these? Thanks, HyYoSilver

    bad brake caliper

    I had the same problem last night while attempting to install pads on my daughter's 95. The rear caliper simply would not compress.....! I did not know about having to turn the caliper piston while compressing it. How exactly do you accomplish this? Thanks, HYS

    92 mustang 2.3 no power

    Most auto parts stores now have a specific cleaner for MAF sensors, I think it's made by CRC.
