There are two camshaft position sensors located at the top rear of the engine in a 2013 Ford Escape, positioned next to each other; one to the left and the other to the right. These sensors monitor the camshaft speed and relay this information to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM then utilizes this data to control the ignition timing and fuel injection timing in the engine. In the event that the ECM malfunctions, replacing a camshaft position sensor in a Ford Escape typically costs between $60 to $80, with labor expenses around $40 to $50 and parts costing between $20 to $30.
I need a video tutorial demonstrating how to replace the camshaft sensor in a 2013 Ford Escape with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine.
In the 2013 Escape, there are a pair of camshaft position sensors positioned at the upper rear of the engine. These sensors are adjacent to each other, with one positioned to the left and the other to the right.
Two sensors are needed: one is for the intake camshaft, and the other is for the exhaust camshaft.
I'm confused - does each camshaft sensor handle two cylinders? Like, does the first one work with cylinders 1 and 2, and the second one with cylinders 3 and 4? I'm dealing with an issue on cylinders 1 and 2 (Coil A and B) in my 2013 Escape.
