FordTechMakuloco Hi, I’m a new subscriber to your videos. Lots of great information. I have a 2012 Escape and I looked through the library to see if I can find anything regarding the constant vibration when idling with the 2.5L engine. Have you ever done any diagnostics on this issue? Ford doesn’t seem to have a fix for it even after having the issue for several years. I did read once that replacing the motor mounts with aftermarket ones can help because Fords are too stiff. Another issue I have is a front end rattle when going over bumps either left or right. I have replaced the sway bar links but not the bushings. I have checked the front end several times both loaded and unloaded and I can’t find anything that would create the noise. The struts are original at 140,000 KM. Could they be worn out? I’m tempted to just replace them and the control arm assemblies at the same time and be done with it. Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.

FordTechMakuloco will a phaser cause all 4 coils not to fire? I have a 04 F150 with the 3v 5.4. The phaser was knocking the noise when away about 1500 to 2000 miles later it starting skipping I check the coils and that whole side is not firing any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Does anyone know if the extended warranty I bought covers the repairs to fix the cam shaft issue ? My 2008 f150 5.4l 3v w/70k miles is shaking and turns off when I reverse or in heavy traffic. (Code p0345)

FordTechMakuloco I followed your videos and changed the entire timing system , timing cover, and left side valve cover. My 5.4L ran great for two days at all speeds , then suddenly the car went back to a rough idle and gave me codes P0018 and P0022, saying "camshaft position correlation" and "A- camshaft position , timing over-retarded" I disconnected and reconnected VCT VALVES which didn't fix it, I also changed out cam shaft sensors which did not help. I am still getting these codes and a "check gauges message just like the symptoms were before. I bought all OEM parts. everything went smoothly until now and I'm dreading having to take the timing cover back off. What should/ can I do next? You're the professional and I await your knowledge. Thanks for all the great informal videos.

As a F150 owner, your channel is #1 for useful information ... and that's including ProjectFarm (close 2nd) in the running.

Awesome, straightforward approach shown. Perfect way to double check your work and pinpoint the true cause of the DTCs!

I love the sign that you got on your wall. Only thing is that my Ford ain't new, it's almost 40 years old but it's still a Ford. Great video!

Best ford tech out there period.....

Just want to say thanks fo your channel. You have helped me time after time with my POS 5.4L 3V

Perfect explanation!!! VERY interesting that a mechanical issue would generate a circuit code....this would have many of us chasing our tails!!!!

When you're under the pump stuff like this happens. We have all experienced these sorts of scenarios. Few things are as frustrating as having to pull down a job you have just completed to correct a problem. The fact that you had the presence of mind to make a video of it says much about your professional approach and demeanor. Not always easy to stay cool after a long day when things don't go to plan!

Thank you for teaching me this, you may have just saved me a lot of money

Holy Mole Nice job Brian

thank you so much for taking your time and recording this awesome videos , God Bless

Thanks this worked for my fx4 5.4 3v didnt wanted to start but it does now

That's crazy,GREAT CATCH!..........You Da man!

You are amazing sir i noticed that issue as i was closing up covers but didnt do anything about it im getting those exact codes so now i will check this out before taking of pulleys im sure thats whatbit is! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us !! God bless you!

Good info to know. Things happen, live and learn.

Amazing Tech. Very knowledgeable!!

Been staring at an engine light from a P0340. I got lucky and it was the drivers side so I fixed the bent tab through the oil filler cap. Thanks for your help

What did you use to fix the bent tab thru the oil cap? My code is also on the same side as yours

i have done probably 12-14 of these in the last few years and have seen the bent ears just a couple times. thankfully i was lucky and noticed them before i closed the engine up. i hate to see you have trouble but is is a relief to see that someone else has seen it also. thanks for the great videos brian!

You seem to be knowledgeable on the subject. 04 f150 5.4. Ticking, occasional rough idle when hot, and now stalling during those rough idles. P0340 p0012. probably the phasers? I already did VTCs and sensors. Thanks!

Very helpful! Thanks for the knowledge.

thank you for sharing all this knowledge. your videos are amazing #1

As Always such an informative video

It happens to the best of us

Hey brother I love you’re videos!!! I have an 07 mustang with the 4.6 3v, would love to see more videos based off of those!!!

Great Video. This is one I would want to scope just to see it.

I ordered my phasers and complete kit from Amazon and both pieces came with bent tone fingers. The dealer sent replacement phasers and I haven’t had any issues since doing the complete timing job 5k miles ago.

at first i would say.. how can you miss that..... its friday 430 pm and slammin parts... oops... not workmanship.....bad parts.. good defect catch.. great tech info!!!

Thanks Brian, that's great info. Keep up the good work!

Thank you thank you thank you for the advice.

I have a 13 expedition for a little over a year now an I started getting a rough idle and then camshaft position codes, it looked like someone was in there doing valve cover gasket’s so I pulled the cover off and one of the tangs on bank one was bent forward and it chewed up the sensor. I bent it back straight and thought I was done after replacing the damaged sensor, but when I was done and started the truck it ran rough again and threw the light on. So now I’m thinking check bank 2, well bank 2 was perfect. Long story short now two days later and it seems ok. Also did all new Motorcraft coils as well. Under the valve covers the engine is spotless 150k and it looked like 20k. Eventually I will get a timing job done since the phasers aren’t ford and I don’t want to take a chance. I just wish that you were in NY cause I would absolutely bring it to you. Thanks for all the information you give to us all. 👍

Perfect explaining TY

Thank you. As a HD mechanic After taking on a side job to time a 5.4 after i did mine using your videos. I got a p0340 p0344. I knew it was timed correctly as i checked so many times and primed the system with oir prior to start up. Pulled the oil fill tube on ps and one tang was bent back. Will check on every job from now on.

Thanks. Again.

Good work sir

I can't believe I found this video it all started cuz it had a while I had it apart I figured I do the timing chain and new cams put it back together had a problem with bank to took it all back apart cuz I thought maybe I had the timing off put it all back together still had the traced wires did everything possible I could think of till I seen your video three of the cam phaser teeth with Bette straighten them out lights off happy guy thank you

I'm hoping this is the problem with the junkyard reman engine we just put in our 05 f150. It's an engine out of an 07 expedition that was replaced in 09 according to the tag on the side. I have p0340 and p0344. Runs smooth no misfire or loss of power. Just using a cen-tech scanner from harbor freight so I can only get so much info. But from what I have gathered it's in time. So hopefully when I pull the valve covers it's just this simple fix, it honestly looked when I had the valve covers off for the solonoids the phasers looked brand new.

Good morning u doing great job and I have questions for you how I can reprogram ABS control module after replacement

Great info thanks

i have the same code and this video it is help me a lot thank you for you time how explaint

Sneaker!! Great tip!!

Thank god for ford they make me a lot of money eco-tech lotta money to be made with the timing

Bet you were kicking yourself on this one. Oh well, we have all been there. Thanks for the tip.

I just did this timining job on my 2005 and got the same codes. Wish I would have seen this video before buttoning every thing up.

great content as usual. my question is when cam timing is off say a tooth the vct error pid offers to the right of zero so far but how does the cam being off a tooth change the error if the computer isn't commanding the solenoid, how is the error pid changing.. if you could shed some light on this that would be sweet.. thanks again

Hi, love your videos so helpful in understanding this engine and it's caviats. Was hoping you can help with diagnosis of P0022, P0340 and P0345. Started suddenly and there is a distinct noise coming from the engine. Thanks for all that you do for us homemakers.

we had an expedition with the cam phaser problem. it was covered under warranty dealer replaced one but not the other, a few months later out of warranty the other failed, got frustrated and traded it in for a 2017 taurus SHO

thank you

It's really too bad Ford doesn't package their parts better. I've had shocks/struts come all scratched to hell. I've actually sent them back. Can't put a part that looks like a POS on someone's car. That said, you'd think internals would be better protected. Glad it's an easy fix. Exceptional video as always!!!

Thanks for showing the process of Diagnosis - Would have liked to see the scope portion but still more than most videos that are just "see how to replace a sensor"

I went to the customer that was having this issue (almost assuming it was the same case as in this video and almost missed that the center pin was135º clockwise from the "L" Mark.. sad because the customer had done the timing his self (3 times) in the past month trying to get it right because he wanted to save some money..

Have you ever had a vct system that won't activate? After installing a new timing set and oil pump. My vct system stays zeroed out? Like it's lifeless and running off the pin. I checked the wires from the vct solenoids. And they both have power

Thanks bro👍

I have a 2006 5.4l that’s throwing a P0345, and P0349. Ruled out the cam sensor, vvt solenoid, alternator, wiring. The Phaser is lined properly, could that still be an issue? The truck runs smooth with no issues. Just keeps throwing the 2 codes.

I am still getting code for camshaft sensors bank 1 and 2 after changing the sensors, Should I start with alternator and starter? Thank you so much?

Awesome follow up to the phantom 345/349. I am experiencing the same thing! I have done everything you have suggested except the Power Balance and the Relative compression testing as I am using FORSCAN. I've pull the valve cover and checked the quality of the Phasers and no bent prongs. Any ideals of anything else I can do?

how does alternator effect cam circuit code and how did that tone ring not cause vct error but a tooth off would.. just wondering again im trying to learn.. thank you

I have a 2008 Ford Expedition xlt 4wd 5.4 Triton engine i just had a timing belt change done also replaced VCT Solenoids, camshaft sensors and left side plug connector but still getting a code for failure on the left side camshaft circuit.

21st Century quality control in manufacturing, summed up right here. Unbelievable! Ford should pay your labor tab on that, IMO. But as we all know, good luck with that!

I recently did a complete timing component and oil pump swap. Truck runs ok, idles a little rough and I get the CEL with this codes for bank 2. I have done all the trouble shooting you mention in this vid and still get the CEL and codes. I've checked and cleaned every connection, I haven't tested voltage or replaced the VCT. Any advice on where I should go next? I bought Ford phasers, is there a chance it could be a bad phaser?

I just did a timing chains and phaser replacements recently, and after starting the truck, immediately got a p0340 code. I opened the valve cover on the passenger side, and when I was turning the crank pulley by hand, I saw the signal plate on that phaser, shifted independently of the phaser phaser sprocket. Can that cause the code I'm getting now? Thanks.

I changed my lincoln navigator 2005 the whole timing chain kit and now it still makes metallic crackle noise again.Can it be fixed without reopening the engine

Ok... I just took the valve covers off.. However both of my phasers are pointed to L is that right?. I am sure I set the right one to R

Man, I'm having the worse luck with my truck right now. Paid my brother to do the timing job as I simply did not have time for it. Now truck runs like it has a thumper cam in it. No power no fuel miealage. Replaces 02s and cam sensors. Still same issue. Replaced FPDM same issue. I'm gonna have to tear off my tapet covers. My VCT's are melling brand. If this bent phaser isn't the issue I'm going to change the VCT's to ford oem ones. Glad I came across this issue. I owe too much money on my truck for the engine to be bad. Quite stressful

I have error codes for both banks, does that mean my timing is off for sure? Also, is the ignition advance what I’m looking for in the scan tool to see if it’s 0’d in idle?

I had this same p0345 code and my car was shaking. First check oil and oil pressure. Found out I have a bad oil leak. I check the oil it was nothing in it but 2.1quarts. Changed the oil got lucky. Engine run like again new.

I got the 0345 code almost a year after my timing job. Open up the valve cover and sure enough the tone ring finger was bent. Why it took so long to trip the code? I'll never know.

Could a weak battery cause this? I have a bad feeling I have a short somewhere but was just curious about the battery because my sons 2014 F150 a weak battery or bad battery can cause all kinds of problems.

Hi all. Wondering if you guys could help me with an issue I’m having. 2010 f150 xlt v8 5.4. 140k miles Pickup drives five but every now and then (not always) when I come to an idle, or take off of the accelerator at a low speed or come to a stop and the vehicle comes to idle my engine starts to do what I can only describe as a “clunky shake”. The shaking goes away if I bring the RPM’s up, and stays gone once the rpms drop back down to where they were when it started. My power seems fine at most speed and my acceleration seems fine. Thoughts? Thanks for the help. I’m in a very rural area so I would like to have a good idea of my issue before I venture way out of my way to a reputable mechanic. Some people have told me phasers, more people have told me spark plugs are bad and misfiring.

Currently dealing with chasing down an issue. I had no CEL and all of a sudden my truck stalled while reversing, I cranked it on and drove hm. I pulled codes and got multiple Tb codes. I replaced the tb motor and the Tb codes didn’t go away even after clearing. It then went into limp mode (cel light and wrench lights came on) there was no acceleration. I then got a dorman tb and swapped that on. I was able to accelerate but it stalled again while reversing. Pulled it inside and the code was P0340 and P1000. I sent it to the shop because that was the first time seeing that code. They got an imrc code but I figured it was for my intake and I put my tune that’s required for the intake back on the truck. That code cleared and there’s no CEL ever since installing the Tb. They referred me to a ford specialist as they found nothing wrong with wiring. The ford specialist had me go get a ford Tb from dealership and cleared codes but the imrc came back on so he’s pulling the intake manifold now. I need help because I’m scared they’re gonna do that and a new code pop up

I just did a step by step on your 4 part video. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. But now I have codes p0390 and p0394. Could this be the same issue? Sensor B ?? Bank 2. Update. It was a bent tab. I did the test of remove vct solenoid. No difference. Ohmed out the wiring and connectors. Swapped left and right sensors for the heck of it. No good. Hooked up my oscilloscope to it. Noticed 2 spikes sort of far apart and 1 small spike and 2 large spikes close together. Removed cover. Sure enough 1 was bent. Straightened and no more error code. Just need to wait for the permanent code to clear.

What is the voltage at the cam connection I have a 2005 5.4 expedition with 5000 miles on the timming job but now I have a deisle sound with p0345 and p0349

Hi FordTechMakuloco, I have a 2006 Lincoln Navigator 2wd and it is using oil. There are no visible leaks and no white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Any help?

I have a F-150 2007 and it makes explosions when accelerating when it is hot, besides it loses a lot of power. It have clean injectors, new spark plugs, a new gas regulator, a new gas pump, cam phaser blocked, clean manifold... which could cause explosions? PLEASE HELP

I've got a 1998 Lincoln navigator that just hit 300k miles, and now won't run! It starts for 5 seconds and cuts off. If I hold the engine at 1500rpm it'll run (really rough) till i let off the gas, then stalls... I'm thinking of changing the throttle position sensor, and the air idle control AIC? any thoughts or suggestions please!

Just recently finished up a timing job on my truck and have both p0345 and p0349. Pulled the cam sensor out and put my endoscope camera in the hole to inspect the ears and turn the engine over by hand and low and behold, bent phaser ear! Extremely frustrating! Although the ear that is bent on mine is to the left of the “R”. Looks like I’ll be pulling that valve cover off AGAIN.

Could someone explain the part about the VCT Solenoid in more detail. What should be expected when it is unplugged and how is it related to the Camshaft Position sensor?

Any reason why my 06 f150 5.4 starts without the cam sensor plugged in and doesn't when it is plugged in? Really stumped on this one.

What is that pin holding up the cam phaser spring on the right? Mine doesn’t have that.

I have a 04 f.150 5.4 3 valve and I have no power to the crankshaft position sensor but it still starts and runs. After awhile driving it the truck stalls out. Do you know why I have no power to the crankshaft sensor?

I wish you were closer. You would definitely be the guy to work on my trucks. But 1 question, I have a 2008 f250 with 5.4, it has 283,000 miles and has had the tick since 180, with this many miles, should I just wait for it to blow up, or still have the timing job done? I bought it with 100,000 miles, and have ran synthetic since then. Any help is appreciated!

I am having trouble with oil pressure just put in a new millings oil pump cam phasers from Ford and I keep losing oil pressure

Does anyone know if the tow ring the center tow ring off the three that is said to supposed to be aligned with the L ??? Does it have to be that way to start when you time it???? I thought as long as you are centered over your L with your two black chain links and at eleven o'clock on your crank and your single black chain link is over the crank gear/sprocket dot on the front of it , b by 6

Have a 2004 Lariat, new timing kit, new cam phaser, new camshaft sensor on bank 2 and still has ticking noise and throwing a p0022 code

So I have a 2010 4.6 3v mustang and been having code p0344 and p0340 took the cover off saw the bent finger bent it back to where it is and still having this code any advice ? Did timing jump ? Tensioner got bad?

HELP!!! We bought a Reman Engine for a 2014 Expedition from a (Purported) Rebuilder in MI. When the engine was started it seemed to run fine although it was throwing codes. Maybe a little sluggish (running on Base Timing I'm told) Immediately we started having P0390, P0365, P0369, P0394 Codes. My mechanic is thinking that for some reason the sensors are not long enough to read the fingers on the cam phasers in both banks. Is there any possibility that we have a mismatch in terms of sensors or cam phazers that would change the air gap - making the finger unreadable?

Hey I have a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer that’s reading codes P0345 & P0349, so I replace the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor .The service engine light came back on but The car is running fine.Any ideas?

Is it possible that we ourselves bent them when installing the valve covers?

Will this camshaft sensor cause me to get bad gas mileage I'm getting 180 miles per tank on premium. And I need it to do better. Some are getting 350 out of a tank..??

Ive been fighting a p0018 and crankshaft and camshaft codes. Also threw a misfire code on 5,7,8. Changed both cam sensors and crankshaft sensor. Changed all plugs and was just about to open her up to get to the vct and i noticed my alternator connector plug was unplugged! Would that throw these codes and give me a very rough idle?

Hey Brian, I have a 2005 F-150 5.4. I dont believe this truck has ever had a timing job done. Im getting codes P0340 and P0344, bank 1 sensor1. I have replaced both cam sensors and also the crank sensor and still getting both codes, harness plugs look fine no noticeable damage to wiring. I have not done the alternator disconnect test yet, what is the probability that the tone ring is bent or something else internally with the timing set?

Hey I have a f250 08 that was knockin cause my vct solenoids were bad but I replaced them but now my my truck is giving me a p0344 and a p0340 I took ma valve cover off to check my timing but is no problem with the time non off my teeth are bent I don't know what can the problem can be any recommendation

Working on 04 f150 5.4. I'm 5th mechanic to work on it,out of time. Checked phasers,locked using nuts and bearings. Replace with new ford phasers,timed . Now have code p0345,duty cycle at 0 at idle,shows to be in sync. Disconnect vvt solenoid, same results, runs rough. According to customer, someone replaced camshafts,are cams the same. Even took pic of timing marks, all aligned

How can the after market alternator affect that part of the car ? Im asking because i installed a after market 240 amp alternator which fit perfectly and after doing the timing job and made sure everything was fine this problem has come up can someone tell me if that could cause the issue im having

Mmmm but you said that just doing 2 key cycle (means the Eng is off) the light come back? So how the sensor will detect that when is not even spinning

Can thses codes cause the truck to sound like a diesel? I just did the passanger side manifold on my 2005 and no have codes p0022 p0340 p0344 and p0446 truck sounds like it has no oil.

So i have these codes plus crank position sensor and o2 sensors. I have a serious list of codes that shown up on my 2010 f150 5.4 fx4 that I'm told means my engine is shot. Just wondering if i need an engine replacement or is it something simple that is causing all my codes. It's easier to say what codes its not listing than what is. I have no knock sensor faults.

I have a 04 f150 5.4 it has just over 76 k , it started sounding hard on the start and the check engine light came on it read p0345 cam sensor bank 2 I replaced the sensor the light went away and two weeks later the same thing happened and it was po340 bank 1 so yesterday i got another sensor swapped it out check engine went away. This morning it came back on and is spitting out the PO340 again. It sounds rough on the start but quites down into a normal idle in a few sec. It also has stalled out when I'm slowing down with the AC on Any advice plz I have 4 kids and on a budget. Is it ok to drive it

Is it possible for phasers to be defective? I rebuilt a 5.4l 3v from a 06 f150 and it ran fine for like 2 months then now it only runs with the passenger side CPS disconnected I checked everything and nothing so is that possible? I’m going crazy trynna figure this out

Working on a 07 Mustang 4.6l. The customer timed his own engine. runs poor and has Cam Sensor Circuit A Bank 2 code. (Bank 1 popped up once) Checked both cam outputs with a scope. They line up perfectly. Bank 1 has a little bit of AC ripple and Bank 2 has random +/- spikes. Just to make sure it wasn't being hit with ignition, injector, or Alternator EMF I unplugged all of these things. Code comes right back on every time. I am at my wits end, I just want to know if a test light connected to B+ should light KOEO on the output wire for the Cam sensor to know for sure the PCM is even getting the signal. In my case this is a variable reluctance sensor. Edit: Tried to check cam phasing but the phasers stay in open loop. I'm guessing this PCM is programmed to ignore cam inputs once it has that code stored.
