Re: How To: Replace the Camshaft Sync and Sensor in a 3.0
Yeah I need to do a tune up anyway so I figured I may as well bring it to TDC and just use the tool to make sure. Do you think it could be off or would I definitely notice?

Re: How To: Replace the Camshaft Sync and Sensor in a 3.0
Is there a guide anywhere on how to do it with the tool? I already did mine but Im not sure if it went in right. I could just be worried but it seems to idle slightly differently.

Clean the throttle body and egr valve. Both use only carb cleaner.

Did your waterpump blow? Did a hose fall off? This could be a cheap fix, or expensive. Check for the source of the leak.

Re: Jerky hesitation, worse with load and high temps.
Was on my way to napa to buy the quick disconnect tool, when a cel popped up. Misfire on cyl 3, going to tune it up over the weekend to see if its just a coil or plug, hopefully.

Re: engine knock
Whens the last time you cleaned your egr (If you have one) and replaced the dpfe? I had a knock at idle and low rpm and doing both of these things fixed it.
