how to install camshaft synchronizer on 99 ford ranger 3.0

it ended up being the cam position sensor that is mounted in the distributor hole at the back of the engine. The squeaking sound was intermittent for a long time and eventually got worse and was constant.Įven though it REALLY sounds like it's coming from the bell housing area. I had a mechanic friend take a look at the truck. Here is something you might want to take a look at. Please read above for all deatails, and here is the PM from guitodd. Īlthough I have not comfired this (my problem went away) they both seem to be very knowledgable and have done research, and both say this is a CPS shaft (cam position sensor shaft) problem. UPDATE - Most possible cause is listed by ' JWKO ' and a PM by ' guitodd '. Re: 3.0 Engine noise / squeak / squeeling - 2000 Ford Ranger 3liter v6 Flex Fuel sqea Like I said the engine is in great condition and has been well maintained with low-loads and oil changes, also I just replaced the belt pullys, the noise is comming from the BACK not the front. ?Īfter searching the net all I found was people with similar problems but no answers, only offered the 'belt squeek' solution. I dont know that much about Fords' 3.0 litre so I wanted to ask first - Is there anything I should know about them ? Spun bearings ? Bad Seals? Tranny Front-Pump problems ? Oil pump shaft ? Anything ? Etc. ALSO, the noise is comming from (it seems) the back high side of the engine, near the automatic transmission, and squeels in park, driving, idling, and revving. I recently changed to the oil and there is no metal in the oil.

This is an intermediate squeek that usually only happens on cold starts (Even if it is warm outside) - After about 5 minutes when the engine warms up, it usually stops. OBVIOUSLY, I though 'belts, tentioner, pully, etc.' but no. Recently, it has developed a squeak/squeeling noise.

I have had a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0 litre flex fuel truck for about 8 months, it has been great and was well maintained. Hi all, I am new here, but not new to cars and trucks.
