Windstar V6-232 3.8L (1995)
Camshaft Position Sensor
CAUTION: If the replacement synchronizer assembly sensor housing does not contain a plastic locator cover tool, a special service tool such as Syncro
Positioning Tool T89P-12200-A, one must be obtained prior to installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure
will result in improper synchronizer assembly alignment. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine
damage.
1. If the plastic locator cover tool is not attached to the replacement synchronizer assembly, attach Syncro Positioning Tool T89P-12200-A as
follows:
a. Engage synchronizer assembly vane into the radial slot of the tool.
b. Rotate tool on synchronizer assembly until tool boss engages notch in synchronizer assembly.
2. Transfer oil pump intermediate shaft from old synchronizer assembly to replacement synchronizer assembly.
3. Install synchronizer assembly so that drive gear engagement occurs when arrow on locator tool is pointed approximately 30° counterclockwise
from the rear face of the cylinder block. This step will locate camshaft position sensor electrical connector in the pre-removal position.
4. Install hold-down clamp (washer and bolt) and tighten bolt to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb ft).
5. Remove Syncro Positioning Tool T89P-12200-A.
6. Install CMP sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to 2.5-3.5 Nm (22-31 lb in).
CAUTION: If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the
synchronizer assembly. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the
synchronizer assembly and repeat installation procedure, beginning with Step 1.
