INSTALLATION
1. Attach Syncro Positioning Tool 303-589 as follows:
a. Engage camshaft position sensor housing vane into the radial slot of the tool.
b. Rotate tool on camshaft position sensor housing until tool boss engages notch in camshaft position sensor housing.
CAUTION: A special service tool such as Syncro Positioning Tool 303-58g must be used to position the synchronizer assembly prior to
installation of the camshaft position sensor. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper camshaft position sensor alignment. This will
result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.
2. Pre-lubricate synchronizer gear with engine oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G prior to assembly.
3. Install camshaft position sensor housing so that drive gear engagement occurs. Locate camshaft position sensor electrical connector in the

5. Remove Syncro Positioning Tool 303-589.
6. Install camshaft position sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to 1.5-4.0 N.m (14-35 Lb-In).
CAUTION: If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the
camshaft position sensor housing. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove
the camshaft position sensor housing and repeat installation procedure, beginning with Step 1.
7. Connect engine control sensor wiring connector to camshaft position sensor.
8. Connect battery ground cable.
