Engine turns over does not start up?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Based on the codes you provided, I feel the problem is related to the camshaft position sensor and not the crankshaft position sensor. The codes indicate a misfire on cylinder 6, a misfire within the first 1000 revolutions of the engine after starting and a camshaft sensor failure, which leads me to the P0340. That indicates a camshaft position failure bank 1. That will cause the misfire (p0306) and the P0316 to set.

With that, and I can't be 100% certain without being there, it seems the camshaft position sensor is causing all of the codes.

With that in mind, I would start with that sensor. Here are the directions for replacing it. The attached picture shows its location.

___________________________

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.

2. Remove the components in the order indicated in the illustration and table.

INSTALLATION
1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Now, on your vehicle has two sensors. You need to replace bank 1, which is on the side of the engine which has cylinder 1. If you are facing the engine from the front of the car, it will be the left side. I attached a picture of cylinder locations. The arrow points toward the front of the vehicle.

It will be located below the valve cover as indicated.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

Hello,

Can you shoot a quick video of what the engine is going when you try and start it? If you dont hear the fuel pump and don't have any spark at the plugs I would say it can be the crankshaft angle sensor which when they go out they will not set a code for the problem.

This guide will give you some possibilities to get us started.

Please run some tests and get back to us.

I could be a computer or sensor problem that might resurface so keep an eye out for the coolant leak start a new question for that here

When this happens, have you ever checked to see if it is missing spark and fuel to the engine? One or both will be missing and I need to know which one.

Let me know.

Welcome fellow ford tech. Since you were a tech you understand we can only help you from the info you give us and we may not be any help at all but we certainly will try.

I noticed you did not mention injector pulse do you have this?
Do you have a 5 volt ref from cps?
Have you checked the eec relay?

Just a few ideas let me know if I can help billymac

Also exhaust restrictions

Yes I know what you mean. It seems to be defying all the laws of mechs has everything it needs but will not run. Some times when I have this prob I take 6 spark plugs lay them on the eng and crank and watch to be sure all plugs are fireing. I also do the same thing with the injectors to be sure all six are spraying. You can also get a can of f/i cleaner that connects to fuel rail disable primary fuel system see if it runs on the cleaner to eliminate bad gas.I know I am running down the same trail you have been but 2 minds are better theb one so let me know if any of this helps meanwhile I will research.

Glad you could get it fixed, that kind of problem can be tough. Please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.

Disconnecting the battery and resetting the PCM. Should not cause the vehicle not to start ! What is the vehicle doing. Turning over and not firing up. Or not cranking at all?

Check fuel pressure with a gauge should be 60-65 psikey on engine off it may be a connection like the oil pressure switch is bad or loose.
