Cam shaft position censor

You can have it tested or usual symptoms stalling when hitting bakes similar to major evap leak but when there isn't any leaks. Also can generate misfires but check plugs and coil pack first usually the coil pack if high miles then plugs if not regularly maintained. CPS doesn't go to often.

Has to be tested-- at a repair shop

Codes for that sensor, do not mean you replace it

Could very well be, an internal mechanical problem,

Set timing 95 windstar 3.8

Hello, Ford Windstar timing for the timing of the crankshaft in reference to cam shafts. First, you'll need an auto repair manual for 1995 Ford Windstar with 3.0 engine. Any auto store will have these auto manual for those who like to do it their self's.

Read the disassemble instruction make careful notes on where parts when they come off and where they go back. Follow the linement instruction for the cams and the crankshaft. These lineament marks on the cam sprocket and the cam drive gear on the crankshaft will have to be in there proper location--timing marks. Double or even triple check this lineament procedures and what is specified in the repair manual. I hope this will really help you out. GB...stewbison
