It is behind the oil pump on the auxilary shaft. You have to pull the timing cover to get to it.:)shady

Cam shaft position sensor

The Crank Position sensor is behind the timing belt cover on the 2.3, the Cam Shaft Position sensor either does not exist, or they have them below the intake on the side of the block.
My original block for my 94 did not have one, but my new block does. My computer does not recognize it, so I went with my original wiring harness; no problems. :icon_cheers:

I am getting a code for it,so it has to have one.
The guy called me today and said he has to tear down the engine to get to it,maybe he meant taking the timing cover off.
I'll go to ford tomorrow and find out for sure.
THANK'S
