I just wanted to say amazing write up on the Final Repair Guide man! I followed it and did the whole timing job myself in the parking lot at my place!
BUT... My truck seems to run awful now, can't hold a steady idle. When I unplug the Cam Position Sensors, it seems to run just fine. I double and triple checked the timing marks and turned the motor over a few revolutions by hand before starting too. It was a rough start though when it first started, could it possibly have jumped time and that's why my truck runs fine when I unplug the CPS's? Or do you think I could have tightened the cam phasers too tight? Because it seemed like my torque wrench was not working. You really seem to know whats going on in these 5.4 trucks and I really appreciate any advice you would have!
sorry to bother you again, i have talked to 2 different mechanic and both do not want to touch it so my only choice are two local Ford dealerships am i crazy to have them do it or should i just leave it alone and not worry about it
