romeodz -> 1997 4.2 lost oil pressure (4/24/2008 10:59:39 AM)
|
My 97 4.2 powered F150 4X4 all of a sudden lost oil pressure. Within the past two weeks the "check engine" light came on and verified it was the cam shaft position sensor. I had changed sycnronizer and cap out aprox two years ago for the same indication.
Does this sound like it could be the shaft for the camshaft sensor "shaft" or is the oil pump busted? Can this be changed out fairly easy without pulling the engine? Any help is greatly appreciated...
---Additional info---
I removed the camshaft sensor and found the syncronizer and oil pump drive shaft could be spun by hand. The syncronizer and oil pump drive shaft were then removed and found no problem with either, well other than slight wear on the oil pump drive shaft. Does anyone know of any issues with the sync drive gear stripping? I did not notice a hex drive portion through the center of this gear?
Thanks in advance
