When you start it up it runs ok. Ran the code anyways and it was P0012. Just worked on a friend's F150 that had a p0012. The problem persisted and I started to do my research. On the ride home it was still running horribly, like it just fell on its face. P0012 is generic, which means that it has the same definition for the F150 as it does on any other vehicle.
Spark plugs typically need to be replaced every season or 25 hours of use. The integrity of those contacts must be tightly mated and lubricated with grease to make sure full electric contact is present. How does a mechanic diagnose the P0012 code? The currently selected is for the Ford makes. This allows for a more efficient cam profile at any speed. This is still less than what told me was acceptable in there eyes. Includes diagnostic, oil change, 8 plugs, 2 phasers, 2 chains, tensioners, and I went ahead and had them replace the cam sensors as well.

Camshaft Position Actuators change the lift of the camshaft up to 25 degrees. Although there could be oiling problems in the head. Bastards hadn't tightened my plug enough and it slowly leaked out. So, if you have low oil pressure or dirty oil, it can keep them from doing their job properly, and trigger P0012. The truck lost all power the other day driving and barely made it to work. If your spark plugs look good, problems with your ignition system can also preventing a spark. Look up the other , please use the search box.
If after erasing all present codes, a different code comes back, then you have essentially eliminated the actual valve solenoid and have saved hours of diagnostic work. Talked to a few mechanics and they said try replacing the Camshaft position sensors. They tightened the plug and sent me on my way. Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with P0012 code? So you should chech it on our car models. If the valve does not respond to the criteria of the computer, it will recognize the algorithm.
This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. No vilant shaking but falling right on its face at idle and any rpm. Talked to a few mechanics and they said try replacing the Camshaft position sensors. Remove the air filter box assembly so you can access the transmission range switch. This ability to alter valve timing is great for both power and fuel economy.
Good luck diagnosing the P0012 in your Ford F150. Insert a 5mm drill bit into the adjustment hole to verify the proper alignment for the neutral position. However, an oxygen sensor is easy to replace on many cars and is usually detailed in the owner's manual. I phoned just before they closed and the tech told me that they had cleaned out some sludge from under the valve covers and there might be some residual sludge. Then go into a P0022 code situation. Should be done by monday. Make sure that you check everything else that you can before actually opening up an engine.
Cam shaft position- over retarded timing bank 1 P0012 , misfire cyl2, misfire cyl3, misfire cyl 4, random misfire, cam sensor bank 1, three of them were repeated codes. Well, work got in the way and I just got a chance to get it into the shop today. If you know where the sensor is, you only have to unclip the old sensor and replace it with a new one. In most cases if P0012 comes up it is due to lack of oil lubrication. If the cam timing exceeds a maximum calibrated limit or is stuck in a retarded position, the check engine light will come on and set this trouble code. All you need to do is take the old one off and screw on the new one.
The truck lost all power the other day driving and barely made it to work. Also by changing the phaser you run a new gear and it is good practice to run a new chain and let them wear into each other. This is because the cam profile will not allow it run a performance power curve when you need more power. I fired it up, got to a safe place to stop and scanned it. Now it's just seeing what is gonna be cheaper since my plan was to trade it in at the end of the year anyway.
