Sometimes the cam synchronizer shaft can fail too. It can happen on any of the Ford OHV V6s with DIS/EDIS ignition. For example, here's a thread from the 3.0L Forum regarding the cam sensor/synchronizer failure issue on that engine:

When you go to change out the cam sensor, look over the synchronizer assembly and make sure that nothing is bent or loose, etc.
