Just something to be aware of when using Chilton's and Haynes manuals. Yes, the Chilton's book that I have does cover 94-98 models, so they were apparently not aware of the change to the parts/procedure in the '96 model year when they published the book. NOTE: The Chilton's procedure that I quoted above was wrong for 96 - 98 models! The procedure that they described appears to be for the 94-95 3.8L, which uses a different CMP sensor, a different alignment tool (T89P-12200-A), and a different crank position (10* ATDC) to perform the alignment.

That was just the ticket for a case like this, where I had one very specific question that I needed a QUICK answer to, but I didn't want to spend $120 - $150 for a shop manual / CD-ROM that I probably won't ever use again.ġ) The correct cam alignment tool for the '98 3.8L is T96T-12200-A.Ģ) The crank should be positioned with #1 cyl at TDC of the compression stroke.

(the same place that sells the printed shop manuals and the CD-ROMs). I had never realized that for $10 you can get a 72 hour online subscription to the shop manuals through Helm, Inc. (I posted a link to this thread in the "Six Shooter" forum) Still, if anyone knows what the correct procedure for this model/year is, I'd like to hear it. I did take pictures of the existing CMP vane and housing alignment with the crank at 10* ATDC, so at worst case I should be able to eyeball the timing within a few degrees. So which is correct for the application above, and which alignment tool does this correspond to? I don't know if it will work correctly for the 96-98 Mustang V6.)Ģ) Where should the crank be positioned when doing this alignment? I have seen 10*ATDC, 26* ATDC and TDC (on the compression/power stroke), all specified for different Ford engines/models/years. My Chilton's calls for T89P-12200-A, which seems to be for the 94-95 models. Incorrect CMP timing should only affect the fuel (injector) timing relative to crank position.)ġ) Which is the correct alignment tool for a '98 3.8L Mustang? (My guess is Ford T96T-12200-A or OTC 6469 or Global 303-562. (Note that none of this affects the ignition timing, since the CRANK position sensor has not been touched. Buy New Camshaft Synchronizer W/Sensor Replacement For 1995-1998 Replacement Ford Aerostar Windstar Ranger & Mazda B3000 3.0 V6, F58Z 12A363-B. Although the car will probably still run with the CMP timing set incorrectly, I'd like to get it correct. Obviously using the wrong alignment tool might affect the CMP sensor timing, and using the wrong crank position WILL affect the CMP timing. The trouble is that I have seen references to TWO different alignment tools for the '98 Mustang 3.8L, and at least THREE different crank positions! So which is the correct combination of tool/crank position for the '98 Mustang V6?

Install camshaft synchronizer so arrow on synchro positioning tool is 54 degrees from centerline of 1997 Ford Pickup F150 1997 ENGINES 4.2L V6. A new CMP assembly and oil pump intermediate shaft should be here tomorrow.ĭoes anyone know the EXACT procedure for timing the new sensor/housing in a '98 3.8L Mustang? All of the procedures I have seen (either online or in a 94-98 Mustang Chilton's manual) are similar: with the crank at a specific position, use an alignment tool to align the CMP "vane" to the housing, and then lock the housing down. Rotunda 303-358 Ford 3.8L Mustang Camshaft Synchronizer Alignment Gauge. I REALLY don't want to have to take it to someone else that will charge me a crapload for a simple fix.Long story short: the bearing/bushing in the cam position sensor housing ("cam synchronizer") in my GF's 98 V6 Mustang started squeaking loudly a few days ago. If anyone could help me figure this out, I'd be most appreciative. I know better than this and was in a rush which is a big no-no when working on a car, so no need to lecture me. Now, I'm stuck trying to figure out which position the synchro needs to be placed in once in TDC.
I made sure that cylinder #1 was at TDC however I made the HUGE mistake of forgetting to mark exactly where the old synchronizer was positioned before I yanked it out. I purchased the sensor & the synchro along with the special alignment tool. I bought the sensor with the synchronizer because I also noticed a new squeaking sound so I just figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and replace both the sensor & the synchro. I ran the codes and a couple codes for camshaft positioning sensor came up. I noticed last week that upon acceleration, my car started bucking and occasionally backfiring. I have a 3.8L V6 1997 stang that I love dearly.
