[Shotimes] Cam sensor (CID)

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Dave:
 It's pretty easy but hard to get at. Small hands are the best special
tools. The 2 small bolts are 8mm. Might need a socket and various
extensions. The seal under it can leak so take a look before changing the
sensor. Just put your hand under the cam sensor, it should be dry. If it's
oily or has a greasy build up. I would change the seal. The sensor is Wells
F134, NAPA CSS405,Motorcraft DU-47 or LX-228,Ford E9DZ-12126-A, Ford list
about $65 but much cheaper aftermarket.

The Helm manual has a picture and procedure on page 03-01B-28 in my 1993
version. Look in the rear index under the 3.0/3.2 SHO Engine section,
sensors.
