cam sensor wiring

I was hoping maybee someone could tell me what the part is that the cam sensor wiring goes too, I see the harness branch off to a part on the lower front of the block (kinda looks like a temp sensor) on drivers side. I appreciate any advice. Just threw a 1309 code and would like to do some homework. Thanks all

Well I think I might have figured it out. Cylinder head temp sensor, if so would this set off the 1309 code? I dont know, still digging

I found this; P1309 FORD Misfire Detection Monitor Not enabled | AutoCodes

What are you working on? Sounds like the cam sensor has to be setup and positioned properly or it will give that code.

2000f150 v6, camshaft synchronizer is 3 yrs old (Dorman) I believe the sensor is mounted right on the top of the synch. Good thing is the synch has a lifetime warranty, is it possible that it was never positioned properly from the begining

I cant seem to find a tutorial that can help me do that, before I continue with the next couple causes which dont sound too pleasing, I would like verify that the sensor is synched properly and im struggling with it.
Btw the truck runs great,two weeks ago I experianced a crank but no start situation for a couple days and got stranded, it eventually started and has been running since. This is why im here now. Thanks so much.

I was told by AZ that the cam sensor was mounted right on the top of the synchronizer and its not. The wiring I was wondering about literally does go to a temp sensor.........man I feel like a jack ***, sorry for wasting everyone's time though.

Don't beat yourself up too much---that's why we're here!

Honestly though I'm sure most of us have also made similar mistakes. One of my all time favorite self-created sayings is: we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.......... After all the biggest part of life is learning what NOT to do.
