Hey guys, I know this is a 6G forum but I was recommended to ask here:
recently picked up a 2010 GT 4.6l as a little project. Car has a P0345 & P0349 (camshaft position sensor bank 2 (driver side)) Prior owner tells me it’s the alternator (not that I believe that). He said he put in a new alt but it was a refurbished so 50/50 on it fixing the issue & it didn’t.
car runs & idles fine. Drives & picks up fine. Based off that I am under the assumption it is an electric issue & not a actual mechanical issue based off of research where I’ve seen it mentioned that the car would be running rough if there was an actual camshaft position issue.
I can see the connector has been replaced for the sensor in question- tapped onto grn/ylw & grn/violet leads from the bundle of wires. Wanted to make sure these are in the right orientation & also some opinions on where to go from here? I have a brand new motorcraft alternator on the way & want to troubleshoot in the meantime to save myself from putting the alt in & back out if it doesn’t fix it.
Does anyone have a link to a service manual for troubleshooting flowcharts & wiring diagrams? I can’t find this stuff ANYWHERE, I’m willing to pay for a quality PDF.
Thanks in advance for any help on this! Wanting to get it figured out. I’m also open to sending it to the shop but I have some decent car knowledge & wiring knowledge. I work on generators for a living so it’s a lot of the same stuff but atleast I have service books for those, lol.
