Check engine light, misfire

2007 F350 Started getting misfires today driving on the freeway. I stoped by autozone to get my codes read and this is what I got back.

did some research online and can’t figure out which sensor part I need to order. I found these 2 from ford. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need either of those sensors because they are usually not the culprit.

The computer is receiving a signal from the camshaft position sensor, telling it "the camshaft isn't where it should be". The SENSOR is telling the CPU, so the CPU is reporting the sensor message.

Typically the cause of this is the VVT solenoids, aka the camshaft phaser. This solenoid physically rotates the camshaft to alter the valve timing. This is a common failure in many different vehicles.

DO NOT purchase an aftermarket VVT solenoid. It will either be DOA or fail in the near future. Only purchase the Ford solenoid. I also recommend changing both of them, if your budget allows.

ps-. If you look at the top of that AutoZone report, it actually gives the correct answer! That's a shocker! So why, may I ask, are you looking at the Ford crankshaft solenoid? Fix the VVT issue first, then deal with the misfire codes (if they're still present).

Yeah, that made me do a double-take also!

They probably won't be as the misfires are, most likely, due to the faulty camshaft timing.

Leave the cam and crank sensors alone, they're only the messengers so don't shoot them.
