Thanks for the reply and info. What typ of scanner would allow me to see the CPS function. (something with live dat link?) Have replaced vct slenoids to no help. Also randomly get a p0174 bank to being lean. And yes ordered OEM phasers.

And alwys thanks you all are life safers.

I used a genesis evo. Yes something where you can watch live engine data

And no problem, we all rely on each others info and past experience!
Sounds like a phaser to me

holy crap! ive installed many of these dorman phasers and I have infact had one comeback. it was for a bad tensioner, not the dorman phaser...
good to know!

I may have gotten a bad one, who knows, but actually after my post a dorman rep got ahold of me and is making it right with me, which is awesome they send behind there product!

Been a 'wrench' my whole life but this '06' 5.4 is a whole new critter to me! Same timing issues going on here. Someone said something to me about blowing out some oil ports in the head but am not sure which/where. ????

FordSilly

Hmm,

I haven't heard of that, but it would be the ports where the VCT solenoid goes Into the head I believe that is also connected to hydraulic timing chain tensioners for each side of the motor

Here is picture of where the VCT solenoid mounts

Am in dire need of some help/suggestions. Have a POS '06' 5.4--and I do mean Piece Of ****! Have changed All of the timing/timing related components--chains,tensioners,guides,phasers,crank gear,cam positioning sensor,variable cam timing sensor,crank sensor,oil pump,and blew out all of the oil ports I could access (had oil blowing everywhere). Thing fired up and purred like a very contented kitty! As soon as it reached operating temp it started right back with it's bull****--rough idle/dieseling at idle---WTF!!! Do I scrap it and buy a Chevy? (Lord forbid--just joking!) I am at a TOTAL LOSS and am a pretty damn good wrench/troubleshooter! (I had a 390 that I built for Pro Street and ran low 8's--sure wish I could drop it in this F150!)
