Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / April 2006camshaft position sensor on my psd
After a year and a half, the third camshaft position sensor on my 2000 f250 4x4 psd has started acting up. I would really like to replace it with a more reliable version of this device. Anyone know if one is available and where it might be purchased? thanks, Robert I went to International for my replacement. How is yours "acting"?

It happens a few minutes after I start as it is warming up. The last couple of time it progressed to stalling for up to a couple of minutes. There is no code thrown. I decided it was this sensor by duplicating the symptom by shorting the sensor leads. In the past replacing the sensor has alleviated the symptoms for a year the first time and a year and a half both the second and third times so I'm convinced that it is the culpret.

They work by magnetic reluctance and magnets age with time and tempature cycles until they become unreliable. You might check clearance between sensor and camshaft because if it is a few thousand to big, it will make the sensor "fail" prematurely as it weakens. ----------------- The SnoMan www.thesnoman.com >They work by magnetic reluctance and magnets age with time and >tempature cycles until they become unreliable.

Should be able to measure the depth from the block surface. Hopefully there's a spec for it some where. thanks. Robert Make sure the engine wire loom isn't rubbing somewhere They go bad but 3 in a year/half is a lot If its the sensor it usually throws a code, if you loose power to pcm engine stalls with no codes > After a year and a half, the third camshaft position sensor on my 2000 > f250 4x4 psd has started acting up.
