This video was helpful. I was able to change out the sensor without taking any of the coils out or even the bracket they are attached to. The only bolts I needed to remove were the 2 7/32 ones on the sensor.

No, you don't need to have the engine at top dead center to change the camshaft position sensor

Thank you for this video my good sir!

Finally, Thank you.

Hey what issues was y’all having with the car when this code popped up

Thank you awesome directions. I had no idea but 2 minutes of your video solved. Good luck with the channel.

Will a loose black battery cord make the battery weak or unable to charge

Very informative but... What does it mean if the 0340 code pops up twice

Excellent video! They just scanned my Explorer V8 5.0 and marked this sensor in the scanner, I have problems starting my truck and I was wondering how to change this camshaft sensor.

Excellently done

I just did this on my '97 Mountaineer 5.0. I was able to get at the sensor just by removing the right (nearer the battery) coil pack, and then reaching down to the 5.5mm bolts with an extension. The only issue I had that might've been avoided by removing more stuff was the retaining tab on the electrical connector snapped as I depressed it with a screwdriver. Probably unavoidable, since that plastic gets pretty brittle after 26 years. Thanks, though, for pointing me in the right direction in general, and I ALWAYS appreciate it when folks tell you what wrenches/sockets are needed. It was a big help knowing I had to search out that 5.5mm ahead of time.

You are supposed to put a little oil on the gasket not the threads helps it slide around the metal so I doesn't grip and break seal from the oil filter itself helps it come off and not stick to the engine and cause problems that is why you are supposed to always talk to make sure the gas that comes off the engine so you don't put the new one on and have two gaskets on the between the engine and oil filter

Ty for video, and ty for your Service!

Good job on thoroughly explaining and video recording this sensor replacement. I was hesitant to remove the coils and bracket and after two hours and bruised and bleeding backs of my hands put it back together to try another day. I don't have a 5.5 mm socket - just an old set of small ignition wrenches and it is impossible to use a wrench in that tight location. The plastic housing broke on the old sensor as I poked around at it so I put a piece of duct tape over the now open sensor and am currently driving the car as it is running fine but just shows the code for bad camshaft sensor.

I think you did a great job on the video. I have a family member that needs one put in. I was trying to see how much of a job it would be. Not super easy, but not to bad. Thanks for your time.

What was the problem? To make you changes that ?? I have issue with my car the code p0340 camshaft position sensor a circuit bank

Thank you...the prior owner crossed thread or something....so you helped me

Hey smart guy maybe you should study alittle more about mechanic work before u make a KZbin video thinking u know what your talking about but u dont and I bet it leaks oil out of the oil filter cause u never use a tool to put your oil filter on period. For all you people that watched. Don't follow this smart guys mechanic work that is wrong. Never use a tool to tighten your new oil filter cause it will ruin the seal on the motor for the oil filter and will always leak and lose oil pressure of course. Only hand tighten your new oil filter on till its snug and make sure u use the old oil to rub around the new oil filter rubber seal ring.

How many miles does your engine have? My 2001 Mercury Mountaineer has 241,000 and it still runs strong.

Thumbs up from Kingsport, Tennessee!

Thanks brother for the video. I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0L. It has 241,000 miles and still runs like new. I got in it today and it did not run smooth. I broke out my code reader and it showed this code that read the camshaft position sensor was bad. I appreciate the video a lot. I have the tools that I need in my box. Have a pleasant night.

Hi Great Video. Is the part number BWD CSS149 a Mercury or Ford Part number? Is this available at the local Auto Parts stores? Thanks very much for the help. Much appreciated. Bill

Thanks.

Get rid of that Fram air filter and put a k&n air filter in there

Good job man

Be honest.. Who else was listening to this in their car and paused the video at 1:37 to see if they needed to pull off to the side of the road or if those sirens in the video?? 🙋 guilty
