Hi everyone. I have an 03 Ranger with a 3.0 liter. The truck is idling rough and stumbles badly on acceleration. I have a fault code of P0340 (camshaft position sensor). Is this a common problem and is there any special procedure for replacing it? Thanks in advance for the responses!

DR5 VERIFY CORRECT INSTALLATION OF CMP SENSOR
A CMP sensor identifies the cylinder #1 power stroke. A sensor that is improperly installed/indexed can identify the wrong cylinder as #1, produce a tip-in hesitation and generate DTC P0340. VERIFY the correct installation by referring to Electronic Engine Controls, Section 303-14 in the Workshop Manual.
Note: If the vehicle has a miss and DTC P0340, possible ignition, alternator noise, RFI, and CKP concerns may be present.

Is the CMP sensor installed correctly?
Yes No
GO to DR6 . REPOSITION CMP sensor.
