The check engine light is on. A 213 code is indicated, as I recall. This calls to replace the cam position sensor. FORD Service does not carry the part or even have the necessary alignment tool in their shop. I have checked with two(2) different FORD Service garages, one in Grandville, MI and the other in Tucson, AZ. No FORD dealership wants to support or fix this FORD design problem. Fortunately, the electronics revert to nominal default values when this error code exists, however, it does cost me in fuel economy and performance, even though the engine seemingly is running O.K. AND there is that annoying check engine light I have to keep looking at... If I could obtain the part, I could do the repair myself. I'm retired from a service department. FORD has dropped the ball on this and in the process, lost a potential customer. I'm currently looking at Toyotas and Hondas.
