Been reading on the forum to get answer to my problem, but seems no one has got there's fixed. I have 2003 with auto Trans. it was stalling out on hills,or passing, when getting over 3200- 3400 RPM. Did not have any codes. Replace fuel filter, plugs and wires, good fuel pressure, was seeing cylinders 4,5,6 having small miss on scanner. replaced coil pack. Still had problem. Replaced cap on cam synchronizer and runs good. No more hesitation.

Hope this helps

what is the cap on cam synchronizer im goin on a trip in 7 days i gotta get it fixed

 

That would be the cam position sensor.
The cam syncronizer is driven off the cam gear and also drives the oil pump.
3.0 engines have been known to have the gear on the syncro lose teeth when the bearing inside gets worn. The result is no oil pressure and engine damage.

 

alright thanks ill see if that helps any

 

okay one more questionis it the camshaft position sensor thats only like 20 bucks or is the camshaft sychronizer thats like 80 bucks or is it the same thing?

 

The sensor is around $20.
The syncro assembly will set you back ~ $200. That is for the Ford part. Stay away from the cheaper Dorman.

 

so just get the sensor

 

Yes Just the sensor. Thats all I replaced. Its easy, just two 5.5 mm small bolts.

 

i didnt rplace my sensr now im tryin to find an engine any suggestions anyone 2003 3.0 automatic yay for me
