Hello everyone! I am new here am this is my first post!
Well, on to it then...
My 97 Ranger 3.0L (115K) got the P0340 OBD code yesterday - cam sensor fault.
I took the old sensor off and the inside had disintegrated! In fact the magnet had fallen off and bent the carp out of the rotor in the synchronzer. I am going to replace it.
Couple of questions.
1)-Ebay has a new complete assy with alignment tool AND sensor for $33 + S&H from aftrmrktprtsplus. It seem to cheap to be real. Anybody have any experience with this guy?
2)-I read on another site that said the synchro can be aligned by voltage instead of the tool and it gives a procedure. Did anyone try this method?
Anyways, the truck has been good so far, few problems. I am surprised it ran fairly well given the condition of the cam position sensor. It was a bit hard starting, though, but ran well once I got going.
Thanks!
