This problem has been bugging me on my 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0 and I have no idea how to fix it! I'm getting an intermittent P0340 camshaft position sensor error, of which is common on these vehicles when the camshaft synchronizer goes bad.
I've already replaced ALL of these parts with brand new OE Motorcraft and the light still pops on sometimes:
- Camshaft synchronizer + position sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Ignition coil pack
- Spark plug wires
- Spark plugs
- Tested the charging system with a battery analyzer tool to check for voltage spikes/ripples in the alternator
Despite throwing all these new parts, the light will still come on randomly, then after a few cycles disappears....only to come back on some other random time. I cannot find any pattern behind this and the engine does not seem to have any misfires. Any idea on how to further diagnose this? I'm using a BAFX OBD2 scanner + the Torque Pro app.
