I am about to do my cam sensor, is there any tips or know how, that i can use for this job? like tricks or anything will help please and thank you.

Easier to gp through fender or under truck or what??

again thank you

 

how do you know its BAD???????

Just curious

 

I did mine from under the truck.

 

we dont have cam sensor problems very often. I think I have done 2 maybe 3 sence 2003.
but to replace it is stright foward its sits behind the p/s pump and easy to access from the bottom.

 

IIRC - an 8mm flexhead gearwrench is a helpful tool.

 

Thank you i will do it as soon as it gets here lol
And i know it is bad because i hooked it up to a comp and that was one of the codes and when i reved it up the rps fluctuated like a misfire cause by the cam sensor being bad, also this is the first sensor been changed in this truck sense 03 so yeah i think it is time anyways

 

oh sounds like it been a good truck 1st sensor since new thats AWESOME

Did it ever stall????

So does the RPM Gauge Jump Around alot??

Post if it helps Im Curious as always

Good Luck with it

 

Nah never stalls just sluggish with a misfire when i try to get going. and also no the Factory dash gauge does not fluctuate but you can see on the computer the RPM's jump around when it should stay up, also when you rev up and let of the throttle the truck should go straight back to idle fairly quick but mine takes forever

 

ya your probably right bad Cam sensor


if you get Board and have a dvm you can try this

If you want to verify those circuits, you can connect a DVOM to both the CKP and CMP circuits of the middle PCM connector. Set your DVOM to Hz. On the CKP circuit, you should be seeing 150 to 200 Hz when the engine is cranked over (directly proportional to 150 to 200 RPMs). On the CMP circuit you should get a reading of 1.1 to 1.9 Hz when the engine is cranked over.


PCM PLUGS PINOUT

if your having issue with real rpm bouncing, running funny I suspect somthing different. but thats just me.

 

That's about how my trouble started except for the code....Same symptoms anyway, still have no clue as to the issue, working on wiring harness now....

 

Are you changing the entire main engine wiring harness? If so, that usually sounds like the fix.

 

What would you say it was?

 

icp sensor and connector or sticking ipr, hell what do I really know just another guess

 

Sorry not meaning to hijack the thread but my 04 6.0 will not run. Saw this thread while searching. What numbers should the CMP be when cranking. I have a SG2 and it reads 9999 for CMP. Been running terrible and today it will not start.

Thanks, I will start a new thread once I have more information.
