94v6blkndred · September 28th, 2008, 10:45 PM

damn....my car just threw the same code....

Stang Tech · September 28th, 2008, 11:22 PM

well before everybody goes the high price range try the sensor 1st it's like $50 from ford and take about 2 min to replace 2 screws and your done.

GreenFaleen · September 28th, 2008, 11:52 PM

autozone sales it for 25 as well

94v6blkndred · September 28th, 2008, 11:58 PM

imma try to clear the code and see if it comes back..it thru the same code like 2 years ago..cleared it and it didnt run bad or anything and just now came back after i replaced the fuel filter...weird ya...

Stang Tech · September 29th, 2008, 12:24 AM

i would not go with autozone as i have had lots of customers replace theres from autozone and then come to me and pay more then 300 for me to give them a new sensor

Stang Tech · September 29th, 2008, 01:27 AM

Yea i hear you i am just saying that if you can get the sensor from ford and it not because i work for ford just trying to keep you guys from having to go to the dealer just to found out it was the sensor.

94v6blkndred · September 29th, 2008, 02:26 PM

im gonna test mine here soon..just need to find the volt and ohm specs

riddlee josh · September 29th, 2008, 02:59 PM

i had also tried to adjust my timing by tuning the cam sensor and with a timing light and my timing wouldn't change. it just stayed the same. is this a sign that it is bad?

I don't think so. My understanding is that ignition timing is controlled by the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor controls fuel injection timing. Someone may know more about this than I do.

we have electronically controlled timing so i dont think that would indicate its bad..right?

My 1998 manual mustang is doing the same thing. P0340 code with an ocasional miss around 3000rpm at WOT. I am curious if the origional poster ever solved the problem. Was it the electronic sensor?

Thanks, BAM
