Are you unplugging the vct or the csp....? The cam shaft position sensor is in the front of the engine ! JUST ON CASE YOU WAS MISTAKING OT FOR THE VCT ! IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU MAY JUST HAVE A BAD COIL PACK 1 bad coil and it feels and sounds like you need a new engine ...go to a parts store and scan it to see if it's a cylinder misfire !

I'm unplugging the vct solenoids. The solenoid that are on top of value cover. And I just replaced the coil packs with acel coil packs

But when it throws a code it does say cylinder blank num misfire.

I used accell coils and had to change out under warranty within a month

murderedf150

U need to use some electrical grease on them also .....and if it's a timming issue ...u wanna try the cps on the front of the engine un plugging it makes it run better but still bad !! Then u may have a timming issue ......but I can assure you those coil packs can go bad even new ones ...I had the same problem and I put my old ones back on and it ran fine so I exhaled them under warranty ! HOWEVER iv noticed a big deference since I used electrical grease on them

asalee

I'll check them. But why would it stop of I unplug the vct solenoids

Not really sure of that ...MAYBE IT'S JUST RETARDING THE TIMMING AND IT SEEMS TO HELP .. a misfire on a single cylinder is a good sign of a bad cop or plug ....! Try that 1st....it's the cheapest ....if it was misfiring on the entire side I'd say a timming issue but a misfire on a particular cylinder !!???? Bad cop or plug ...id guess ...I hope for your sake that's what it is good luck .....

Thank you for your help going to try that tomorrow. Will let you know if it works. If not it might go up for sale ! Tired of throwing away money on the same problem

I understand ......iv done timming chain sets for the 2nd time in 2 years .....Junk product from S A GEAR. ....KEEPS BUSTING THE CHAIN SLIDES .....IF my engine isn't destroyed....from jumping time ...I may sell mine .....it's tiring chasing problems......all the time ....I have some coil packs if u don't have 1 to test you'll just have to pay for the ride

asalee

Yes me to. I think I have my old ones? I'll check and let you know what happenes. Thank you for all your help ! I even thought about getting a new motor and just start over
