Installation (3.8L California & 3.8L SC)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 1994 Mercury Tracer, 1994 Mercury Topaz, 1994 Mercury Sable, 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 1994 Mercury Cougar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If replacement CMP sensor housing does not contain plastic locator cover tool, a special service tool such as Synchro Positioner Tool T89P-12200-A must be obtained prior to installation of replacement CMP sensor housing. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper CMP sensor housing alignment. This will result in fuel system being out of time with engine, possibly causing engine damage.
  1. If plastic locator cover tool is not attached to replacement CMP sensor housing assembly, attach Synchro Positioner Tool T89P-12200-A by doing the following:
    • Engage CMP sensor housing vane into radial slot of tool.
    • Rotate tool on CMP sensor housing until tool boss engages notch in CMP sensor housing. The cover tool should be square and in contact with entire top surface of CMP sensor housing.
  2. Transfer oil pump intermediate shaft from old CMP sensor housing to replacement CMP sensor housing. Install CMP sensor housing so drive gear engagement occurs when arrow on locator tool is pointed approximately 30° counterclockwise from front face of cylinder block (6010). This step will locate CMP sensor connector in pre-removal position.
  3. Install hold-down clamp including washer and bolt and tighten to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 N.m). Remove Synchro Positioner Tool T89P-12200-A.
    CAUTION: If CMP sensor connector is not positioned properly (i.e. contacting A/C compressor bracket or forward of supercharge drive belt), DO NOT  reposition connector by rotating CMP sensor housing. This will result in fuel system being out of time with engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove CMP sensor housing and repeat installation procedure starting with step 1).
  4. Install CMP sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to 22-33 inch lbs. (2.5-3.5 N.m). Reconnect harness connector to Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. Reconnect negative battery cable.
