Great video only thing I would suggest is telling everyone which is bank one which is supposed to be passenger side and to is the driver side hope this helps someone
Helped me!
this helped me out I was googling it and couldn't find nothing lol
Bank one should be driver side but theirs an intake and an exhaust from what I'm finding out I'm guessing the ones that are sticking in through the front of the head or the intake ones
Yesss thank you. I was wondering the same thing as well. I wasn't sure if there was only one or 2 sensors
Thank you kind sir !!!!
The shortest videos are always the best....straight to the point!!! 👍🏿👍🏿
My 2008 F150 engine light came on and was running rough. Was getting "P0345 camshaft position sensor A circuit bank 2" code. Tried changing the sensor before taking it to a shop for a , most likely, far more costly repair. Got the new OEM sensor ($26) . Followed this video. Installed it in about 15 minutes. Running like a top so far. No more engine light. Thanks guys.
Mine idles like a misfire when I’m in low speed streets just popped this code hopefully it’s this too
@@jaycapo1193what ended happening with this?? I got the same thing
Thanks for the tutorial. Changed both of mine on a 2005 Ford F150. the first one (passenger side) was a little difficult. Both the electrical connect and the sensor were a little tough to remove. I found that twisting the sensor a little and working a small enough gap between the sensor and the cylinder head allowed me to gently work a small blade screwdriver between the sensor and the cylinder head. Slowly working both sides I was able to free the sensor from its mount. On the drivers side, I left the electrical connect on, removed the bolt and that afforded me a little more real estate to grip onto to remove the sensor. I applied a small amount of lithium grease to the o rings before inserting the new sensor. Overall took about an hour. Noticed that when I started the truck it took a few more revolutions to start than normal and the engine idle was high for about 20 seconds then the idle went back to normal.
Use CRC heavy duty silicone spray to help free up all electrical connectors and other plastic components.
Thank u for writing this
On my 2007 F-150, the severely rusted bolt holding the sensor on was removed by first wire brushing with a Dremel. Then, I pounded a 7 mm socket onto the bolt mounted on a breaker bar to keep it true. Grateful for the video. Truck runs great.
This will only work on some 07s and it will not work on a 08 5.4 3v…ford changed the size of the hole that the solenoid goes into at some point in 2007…it will work for some 07s that were made early on in the year but nothing newer…I own a 2008 with the 5.4 3v and I have to remove the whole cable cover to get it done, great video…they were just unaware of the change made in 2007, hope this saves you 08 guys some time
The whole valve cover*^^
I want to say thank you!! After watching this video. I was able to change mine by myself! Thank you!!
Just bought mine from autozone $29 going to do it tommorow and will leave an update of how it rides.
Still a great video for anyone with this motor under the 175,000 mile mark
I’m at 223,257
thank you for video, replacement looks straightforward and ez enough!
Thank you gentlemen for the sound advice! This video had so much attention to detail and clear explanation, that I had to subscribe to this channel! Take care and looking forward to more! 👍
Very easy instructions took me 10 minutes to change.
Just because the code is coming back as the sensor it’s not necessarily the sensor in fact most cases the timing is out of place and changing the sensors is only making your check engine light turn off and the rattle, stalling, poor idle, and loss of power during acceleration quickly resumes. I have an 06 F150 5.4 3v 4x4 and I spent the $50 on the sensors did the swap and less than 3 cranks and 5 miles the same issue and the actual diagnosis is timing assembly is wacky, cam rollover follower in Cylinder 7 is either loose or broke off and wiggling around under the valve cover. There is a cam phaser lock out kit for this issue in the case that the timing assembly isn’t destroyed enough for a complete replacement but in my case Now it’s a $2000 DIY job or a little over $4000 shop job. This motor is dookie.
It's literally a good motor but for some reason the 3valves when timing fails it crushes the valves when the cam phasers wear out. I had to get a new engine. A part of me regrets it but the way I see it, anything built in an American factory in this age of corporate greed is sub par garbage so it's like take your pick of low quality dog shit. Japanese trucks are just too expensive for me. They are better. I'm a patriot but I can't stand when I see that "buy American" shit anymore. Fucking make it good then don't just guilt me into it.
Agreed with everything you said. I wish I never bought this stupid truck.
@@teonactalpizzaFor real, same problems here!
Is it me, or did they say they was gonna do the passenger side too, but didn’t.. 🤨🤨. Aren’t you suppose to replace both at the same time? I mean that’s what a ford dealership service department told me 🤷🏾♂️
He clearly said in the first 45 seconds the video that they were changing the driver's side only. However, I was thinking the exact same thing you wrote at the end of the video and then read your comment while rewinding to listen to the beginning of the video again.
P.S. On a more serious note....My 2005 Ford F150 with a 5.4 threw a 126 ? Code showing something too do with intake left or right bank problem. Sorry,I can't remember the code,but it was the camshaft sensor. I changed the oil,the light went off. The viscosity of the oil caused it too throw the code related to camshaft sensor problem. The truck calls for 5w 20. I run 10 w 30 now. It stopped throwing code. Change every 3 months regurdless of miles,it works for me.
AWESOME SAUCE! ABOUT TO GO OUTSIDE & DO THIS. MY CODES WERE P0345, P0349 & P0021 (TIMING). I PRAY I DIDN'T SCREW UP THE TIMING WHEN THE SERPENTINE POPPED & KNOCKED OUT CAMSHAFT SENSOR🙏🏾💩😭
thanks for the help you solved a aurgunment in the shop
Thank you. It helped me a great deal since I don't know anything about car :)
Thanks guys it was exactly how you all explained it...thanks alot
Oh man that was exactly what I was looking for...thank you..helped a lot.
After using the information in your video it developed a few more codes after performing drive cycles...still drove me crazy...then...I got my last check. I appreciate all the help.
Idk if it's bad, but I didn't have a torque wrench, so I just tightened the bolt as tight as I could with a ratchet. Seems to be doing fine.
If it’s cylinder 1,3,5,7 it’s drives side if it’s 2,4,6,8 it’s passenger side
That is true for my GM, but not for my Ford F150. Drivers side are numbered 5,6,7,8 and passengers side are numbered 1,2,3,4, front to back.
I’ve done this and still have my P0010. Any clues?
I have P0302 Missfire on my blue driver, I replaced Spark plugs, coil, and injector and it is still coming back, it's a 2006 5.4 F150
Any advice?
So just to confirm before I go in and replace this and find out I did the wrong side lol, the camshaft position sensor A bank 1 is the passenger side, correct? Thanks.
I just replaced mine and you have to be careful because it might not come out to easy, I know because after I unbolted it I wobbled it tried to turn it and it wouldn't budge. I tried to get a screwdriver behind it and it snapped off. I finally was able to fish it out after a lot of swear words, but there is corrosion on the outside of the "O" ring. I tried to put the new one in, and it didn't want to go in, so I took my flathead screwdriver and cleaned the corrosion out and it went in finally.
why did you not show the replacement of the passenger side of the camshaft position sensor on 5.4 tritom
What happens if i do not unplug negative terminal?
A 2006 f150 ford truck... What side is bank 2 is on????
The opposite of bank one. 😅
Driver side
I get code p0345 and code p0198 i replace both cam senor and the oil sensor both codes come back after clearing them truck does a jerk or buck when driving and idle little rough 5.4 motor
I am having the same exact issues. Did you figure out what was causing it?
I replace the sensors on my 2004 but still running rough when I disconnect the harness it runs fine I been running it with the harness off and seem to be ok any ideas of what should I do?
Why did you have to disconnect the battery?
Are both sensors the same part on this vehicle? Gonna do some work on one but cant find anywhere if theyre separate part numbers or the same for this model truck?
How I Kno if I have to change both
U said 2 sensors why u change only one?
Either bank 1 or bank 2 that one was bank 2 right side of the engine
Shouldn’t you put dielectric grease or engine oil on the sensor instead of putting it in dry?!
What about the relearn… the sensor to the pcm communication?
Is this the bank 1 sensor that you replaced?????
I’ve changed my sensor multiple times and it temporarily solves the engine light issue. But when I go to start it some time later the light and code come back ?
Timing issue get your cam phasers and chain looked at and save yourself a lot of heartache and a dead engine .
Thanks for the information. Very good
Great video!
The camshaft position sensor on my ‘06 Ford F-150 5.4 was VERY difficult to take off I’m not sure why? I wonder if anyone else had this problem?
I’m gonna trying this weekend on my 07,let you know soon
Yes. Once unbolted mine spins freely but wont pull out. I cant get it out.
Same i cant get mine out
Where is the sensors on passenger side located
Would a bad cam sensor cause whining & squeeling first 5 min truck warm up?
Yeah listen to the other guy in the comments cause I learned the hard way. This WILL NOT WORK FOR LATE MODEL 07-08. I have a 07 and my hole on the valve cover is much much smaller. You gotta remove the whole damn valve cover. Oil dipstick. A couple brackets and such
the 2 on the front are the exhaust side sensors? where are the intake side sensors?
Your video doesn't explain the location or replacement of the passenger side cam shaft sensor. Can you suggest another video?
I agree very helpful thanks guy's
Glad we could help!!
I have a 07 ford f150. 5.4L and code p0020 just came on. Could it be this ??
I just replaced the phasers, chain, oil pump, and solenoids on my f-150. I had the engine stall on me and these codes came up. Should I try to replace the sensors?
Moat likely
IronWolfGaming I just replaced the plastic electrical plug, not even the sensor and it deleted the code.
@@N000aaahhhhh did it run good after the plug was changed ?
@@jorgegarcia1695 it did up until recently. I got a code number p2004 but I don’t think that is related to this.
Damn I’m about to try this and the new plug has a black and white connector on which one do I plug the white one with the red strip?
I have similar challenge but in a Toyota Camry 1999 with a confirmed P0340 and a pending P0116, P0773. The symptoms the customer told me were: engine stalling while on motion and during that time the car is very hard to start because the engine is hot but when the waited for an hour the car car started. What I noticed was that the car revv high intermittently on it's own but will return to normal idle again about 5 second again, and the exhaust tailpipe was really darkened when I put my hand. Plugs, fuel pump and a relay( the don't know where the relay was removed though) was replaced by another engineer but the problem still persist. Please how do I fix this problem?
Will replacement of part like camshaft position sensor fix this problem?
using BlueDriver is it possible to check for a faulty crankshaft or camshaft position sensor using “Mode 6” or “Live” data mode?
How do we know what side has a bad sensor ? What is bank 1. Is there a way to test the sensor ?
Google would be a great resource for what side of the engine is Bank one and Bank two. Also the owners manual would be a good please to check as well.
What do you do when they break off in the block?
Great video guys.
Thanks guys!
Do you change bothe
I have a 2004 Ford F150 5.4 POO22 code I replace the cam phaser solenoid an cam sensor New oil pump timing chain I’m still getting the same code P0022 can anyone help me please thank you
I have a 2015 Ford F-150 lariate will not change any gears ?????help
Great video I finally got it thanks
so every time I hook up my truck to the diagnostics it tells me that it’s the intake position sensor and the camshaft position sensor so I don’t know if it’s the same sensor or two different sensors someone help me here i’m lost
If you send an email to support@bluedriver.com with your scan they'll have a look
That Looked Easy 😮👍🏻Maybe I can change it after All ? 👀😁👍🏻
Very well explained thanks a lot
I've replaced mine thanks to the help of this video but are they supposed to be covered in oil? In the video they seem as dry as the new ones
no
it seems you have some gaskets that need replacing. now to figure out which ones!
U guys rock. Thank you.
Thanks great job
Thanks for the info
Thx y'all so this is bank 1 intake right?? Thx
Great video, whats up with that honda battery though???!!!!
The first one to notice!
The truck's battery was dead so we grabbed one we had lying around, it's not exactly an OEM fit
@@LemurMonitors regardless, good video.
Thank you very much men!
Is there more than 1??? Or just 1 sensor?
I have a 2008 it has code p0344 and p0340 is making a lot of rattling nosie I change both sensors and still doing the same
did you ever fix the issue? mine is doing the same
What about the left camshaft positioning sensor
Everything's the same, it's just a bit easier because that bracket isn't in our way
Outstanding video. Thanks.
Im gonna do it on my 04 hopefully is that but i doubt it i think i need an engine 245k miles
Which is bank 1 sensor A?
what is the part number for the sensor?
So I replaced the sensor yesterday on my 05 f150 5.4
But I just seen your video and I did not disconnect the battery.
Is that bad or is it gonna cause any problems?
I never disconnected my battery and never had problems it's just a safety thing
Wondering if I'll have to pull the valve covers off my 2007 f150. I've replaced the valve positioning sensors last week. The motor still does rough idle at times. But it seems to have helped. I've been researching all around today. It's just such a big job to pull those covers off.
Same problem here,but haven’t change the sensor yet.If you find a solution(s) let me know
Kindly update if you found solution to this
Update? Lol from 2 years ago
@michaelbidwell4210 I finally booked it into an autoshop. I bet the chain guards are broken into pieces, and clogging up the oil intake, There's some really good UA-cam content out there on fixing cam phasers. I haven't driven it over a year now. But I'm going to need it this winter.
@@nicksrc908 I just changed both camshaft position sensors last night. Ran great unti halfway to work this morning
How about the engine light?
Make sure it comes "ooot". Yall must be from up north.
How was it running before tho
Which one is bank 1 sensor A
Also code is P0016 on 08 f-150 5.4 L
Which side is Bank one?
Hi Snuff!
Bank 1 is the side of the engine with cylinder #1 which should be on the passenger side, so driver's side is bank #2
www.f150hub.com/maintenance/cylinder-map.html
what test were done to confirm it was bad?
I’m getting this code but also getting taping from
Engine and loss of oil pressure. Could it still be the sensor?
Same any luck
@@chrisky502 i replaced both this and crank sensor and then unplugged both TPS sensors lost a little power but then all my problems went away besides changing a few plugs along the way. A lot of the issues can be traced back to TPS sensors. You can unplug them and vehicle will run fine just little loss of power but there a cause of a lot of the issues.
Could you please help me determine what would cause P0340 and P0344 Camshaft position sensor code to continue coming on after replacement of camp chef position sensor. With good ECM or PCM computer module.Codes can be cleared but they come right back
Hey David! Shoot us a message over at support@bluedriver.com We can gladly help you out here!
what did they tell you?
@@JohnNorris411 hey John
@@JohnNorris411 so here’s the deal. I have taken my truck to three dealerships, none of them can tell me why P0340 p.m. 0344 in P0 345 continue to come on. I have watched several videos, A1 auto has sore very in-depth information. Timing chain has been replaced, somebody has told me that the phasers are in good shape, but I have heard so many bad things from bad mechanics I don’t know what to think anymore. The only thing that I have not checked myself which I would’ve hoped that the dealerships would have is the harness going from the position camshaft sensor to the PCM
Also,Once the code is cleared it comes right back immediately
is this the same as a V6?
I have 07 lariat and I have codes P0012-P0016,is it the sensor or bad engine?
More likely the sensor
I was working on a Nissan Frontier last month and had to change the camshaft position sensor. I found the oil to be so low that it didn’t show on the dip stick. Today, I have one to change for an F150, and same thing. Oil didn’t reach the dipstick.
I wonder if it is related. Maybe an overheating issue due to lack of oil.
I'm concerned about that myself. I traded for a 2006 f150 and the guy I got it from said cam phasers were going out and to drive it with overdrive off. For whatever reason that helps. I checked the oil a couple of times within the 1st week with no change in the level. The oil didn't look great so I was going change. My business got really busy and a week goes by without checking the level. When I did check it there wasn't a drop on the dipstick. Changed the oil and in about 2 weeks the same thing no oil
These motors, when old, burn a lot of oil. My 04 with 199k burns a quart a month. If the oil levels and quality were not maintained properly, the sensors can go bad. Continuously checked Low oil level is not due to cam or timing belt issues; these motors, when old, just burn through oil quickly. Keep the pig fed!
Can't get past the ring, help
I replaced both of my and still the same with a hard start
Should have shown them both
As if the torque spec of the air filter housing going to a bracket was important and the torque of the sensor itself inside of the engine was ignored.?
Which one is bank 2???? Why is google and UA-cam not helping me find this? Just need to replace bank 2.
Bank 2 is driver's side on this motor
@@LemurMonitors thanks for the response. I went ahead and changed both sensors and the error code and rough idle is still there. I’ve been chasing error codes around this truck for a year I’m about ready to light it on fire lol jk.
@@LemurMonitors do you not have to relearn it or have to do the timing job on it ? How do you know if you need a timing job just not the sensors ?
IMHO you should have provided a link for the parts on the crankshaft position sensors.
I followed these instructions to a tee....Cranked up truck ,hit gas, hit two cats and a rat in the ass....But,the truck did crank.
If I understand correctly there are two sensors, I would have replaced both of them at the same time.
Are they the same part from left side to the right side?
A good bet, but in this case there was nothing wrong with the sensor - it was just replaced for demonstration purposes
It looks like they should be - Part number 1W7Z-6B288-AB and fitment is listed as "Left/Right"
@@LemurMonitors Thank you!
What brand was the cam sensor
You can use the OE or OE equivalent - you can check with your local parts store for a specific recommendation!
I order the senor they gave me 2 parts for bank 2 on the camshaft
