Thanks for all who replied. So in short, if I keep driving it with the sensor u plugged, (even though it seems as if it is running fine) I'm starving the motor of oil and it's only a matter of time before it leaves me stranded?

No power in cam position sensors
I have a f150 2004 with 5.4l engine. Did a new engine swapped. And now i don't have power in the cam sensors. Anyone experience the same thing? All fuses and relays are ok. Could it be the ECM ??

Sensors can be bad but a new one also -- doubtful .
Sensor is telling you drivers side cam phasor not moving to correct point .
First thing check oil pressure gauge on dash is junk . . It goes bad because of broken guide pieces in oil pickup and/ or blown tensioner seals .
Drop oil pan and clear pieces but if there you must do timing job . Much cheaper than $7500 reman motor .
Any one with the will can do this job, it is doable as long as the heads are in good shape , But to hire it done is iffy. Probably better do reman then .
Driving this with sensor unplugged is causing pcm to run in a default mode .
This lack of oil pressure is going to come to a bad end .
Kinda like running your heart with a bad ekg reading -- no fix bye bye . Blame the EKG machine sensors .
