INSTALLATION
CAUTION: A special service tool such as Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A must be used to position the synchronizer assembly prior to
installation of the CMP sensor. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper sensor alignment. This will result in the fuel system being out
of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.

a. Engage camshaft position sensor housing vane into the radial slot of the tool.
b. Rotate tool on CMP sensor housing until tool boss engages notch in sensor housing.
2. Pre-lubricate synchronizer gear with engine oil meeting Ford specification ESE-M2C123-A prior to assembly.
3. Install CMP sensor housing so that drive gear engagement occurs. Locate CMP sensor electrical connector in the pre-removal position.
4. Install hold-down clamp (washer and bolt) and tighten bolt to 19-30 Nm (14-22 lb ft).
5. Remove Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A.
6. Install CMP sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to 1.5-4.0 Nm (14-35 lb in).
CAUTION: If CMP sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the sensor housing. This
will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the sensor housing and repeat installation
procedure, beginning with Step 1.
