Long story short truck started running a bit slower checked codes, got a lean code and a p1309 code. Decided to change out the syncro and cam. I assumed the original syncro was good.
I turned the crank by hand till I could fit the ford tool on the syncro then took it out, and put in a brand new one with the ford tool on it and new sensor. I bolted everything back together and it started surging,misfiring,ideling funky, had power at speeds more then 30mph but anything less wide open throttle was shit. I bought a new MAF,IAC,TPS,Air Temp Gauge, Coil Pack,Checked wires and same problem. I thought maybe the gasket was not installed correctly. Took off intake and added a new gasket and it helped but same problem. So im now convinced that I didnt install the Cam Syncro Correctly. My question to you fellow guys.
Does Engine have to be a Top Dead Center or does it have to be 10 degress Top Dead Center? If top dead center its on compression stroke correct and I should be able to varify on the timing lines? And if its at 10 degress is it 10 degrees before or after TDC. Thanks!
Hopefully this will solve all my issues and answer someones question one day if they run into the same problems I am having thanks!
