So I'm looking for as much help as possible right now...I have a 2005 Ford F-150 King Ranch 5.4L 3V and I just replaced my timing chains and all timing components. I got everything put back together and now, when I went to start it up I got a P0345 and P0349 code. My engine runs rough at idle, smells like it runs rich, HUGE loss of power and stalls on it's own. I replaced the driver's side Camshaft Position Sensor and I'm still having the same problems, along with a new light on my dash... (my ABS light). So please, any help would be greatly appreciated. No-one in the York PA, Harrisburg PA, Lancaster PA and Baltimore County, M.D. areas would touch this job and I took it upon myself to get this job done.

 

Give Al's Service Station a call in Denver, PA. They do my work and have been very happy with them.

 

@Reamy63 regrettably it certainly sounds like you got cam chain timing marks off a tooth or two on bank2 - either on the phaser of crank gear (being the rear one and harder to see). And there is no way to accurately verify timing marks visually after it is all closed up. A quality shop that can monitor cam position sensors relationship to each other on an o-scope can tell if they are out of sync with each other. Not necessarily synced with the crankshaft - bit if that were the problem you would probably have codes for both banks.


I'm really sorry after doing that much work.

 

@Reamy63 - what was the final word on your two timing codes?

 

Hummmm. I believe @Reamy63 is 'one & done'. We'll never know!
