My car is experiencing an intermittent loss of tach signal. The tach needle drops a couple hundred RPMs very quickly and bounces back when idling. Sometimes, it stumbles when this happens and then start idling weird, but will clear up. Under power it drives fine (or at least it feels ok).
I have replaced the cam sensor with a spare that I had and no change. I cannot find my spare DIS or crank sensor. My first thought was the crank sensor got damaged when the jackshaft belt broke at the track the other week. It seems to have started after that (the next time I drove it). However, I do not see anything obviously wrong with the sensor or its cable. I kind of suspect the DIS now.
So I was going to buy a DIS, cam sensor, and crank sensor from RockAuto to have a spare set.
-They do sell a motorcraft cam senso
-The DIS is options are AIRTEX/WELLS 6H1100 $79.99, STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS LX231 $83.89, or if I search for the Ford PN on the DIS I have, I come up with STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS LX242 (F1SF12A297BA) $150.89 why the one that matches the PN is so much more expensive... I dont know.
-The crank sensor only has one option is AIRTEX/WELLS 5S1751 $61.79
I would prefer to buy motorcraft or OEM parts, but I have not been able to find any online. Do you guys know of a place that sells this stuff anymore? If not, which DIS is better or is all the other crap the same?
thanks,
Derek
