Trouble code p0340 car wont run

Also doesnt replacing the camshaft position sensor require the use of a synchro tool as well?

99v6stang · January 11th, 2008, 06:59 PM

Okey i got the new camshaft position sensor, and just like i thought, it didnt help at all. The car wil start, then kill a second later, if i give it a little gas right away it will stay running, and after about 30 or 40 seconds it starts to sounds terrible kind of like there is some knocking and rattling

My best friends dad just bought an escort like mine its throwing these codes too. same symptoms. we took the head off to find the cam was busted right in half

hope this isnt your case.

If my cam is busted in half i am going to fucking kill some one. Im going to cut the oil filter in half and see if there are any metal shreds, that should tell me if there is something broken or anything inside the engine right?

in most cases yes. also running a magnet through any drained oil might pull some shavings out. some times they have a habit of sitting in the bottom of the crank case.

i really just need someone to come in here and tell me exactly what is wrong with my car and how to fix it because lately this car has been nothing but problems and all i hear all day long is to sell it which of course i refuse to do, but i really just wish i could get it all working fine with no problems what so ever

99v6stang · January 11th, 2008, 07:17 PM

yea i did just change the oil but lost my extendable magnet, i was planning on doing that, a little later i will tie a refrigerator magnet to a string and try it with that, when i check the oil filter.

Juggalo_X · January 11th, 2008, 07:18 PM

the head was fucked on the escort too the pistons were pounding the shit out of it.

a fridge magnet probably wont grab nothing they can barely hold a piece of paper on the fridge.....

oh i have some strong ones so i think they should
work, but this would be the second time my engine has blown up in the last two months and i would be more pissed than you could imagine

i do most all of my own work but i do have it check by a pro after... maybe you should too?

99v6stang · January 11th, 2008, 07:29 PM

well i hope its not a busted cam that would suck large. if your lucky it could just be a collapsed valve spring or a bent push rod.

99v6stang · January 11th, 2008, 07:48 PM

well i guess tommorow i will start taking the engine apart, at lest the intakes and see what i can see from there.

Juggalo_X · January 11th, 2008, 08:05 PM

Id start off with the valve covers check the springs and rockers.

SSStang · January 11th, 2008, 08:13 PM

Since you've stated in the other thread you didn't have a dyno tune, something is very likely screwed up... Or a combination of thing(s).

He said hes been driving for 2 months off the rollers... It may be too late.

99v6stang · January 11th, 2008, 08:52 PM

so what do you guys think happened? i had a mail order tune for the mods and 4.2, it was my understanding that the car would be fine with just that

Juggalo_X · January 11th, 2008, 08:53 PM

I think he fucked his valve tran. i bet its a busted cam, a collapsed valve(s) or bent valve/stuck
