The crank shaft position sensor is to tell the cpu when to allow spark at the right time. IT normally works or it doesn't. Lack of take power for take off can be associated with low fuel pressure for the injectors and MAF/MAF sensor faults.. have a pressure test done on the fuel system to check for regulator failure.

The camshaft sensor is located right above the crankshaft pulley on the passengers side of the front cover of the engine. It will be a 3 pin sensor either gray or black in color. There is a pointer that is attached to the sensor and it is either gold or silver in color. There is also a recall out on this camshaft sensor. If the color of the sensor is black then it should qualify for the recall. If you get in touch with a Ford dealer they should be able to help you with your recall if the sensor is black since it is a safety recall. As far as your exhaust pressure sensor it is located on the front of the engine right by the heater core hose a little to the passengers side of the center of the front of the engine. there will be a tube attached to the bottom of the sensor that goes from it to the front of the exhaust manifold on the very front of the passengers side exhaust manifold.

its not hard to fix.but you going to have to move some things to get to it. you will need a haynes repair manual.it will show you photos and instructions how to replace it.

I have just replaced one myself. The part is very easy to get to. its on the engine towards the top. All you have to remove is the air filter box and move one large hose out of the way. There is only (2) 8mm bolts holding it in place. They do need to be torqued to 155 IN-LBS though when you replace it. Sadly, after I replaced mine and cleared the codes, the same P0344 code comes right back. The intermitten one this time. I was told to check the wires for a short on the cam sensor I replaced and the crank sensor as well. The camshaft position sensor was only $37 at Autozone. Shop around though. I was quoted up to $70 for it. I saw online that some people had problems with aftermarket ones and only got theirs to work after installing a genuine one from the dealer. I havent called them but am guessing it will run close to the $70 range from them. Good luck with yours. Check this site to see how to change it, it helped me a great deal.www.ptcruizer.com/cam-sensor-repair.html Its basicly step by step with pics.

Observe the scan tool CMP Desired, Actual, and Angle Variance parameters before a DTC sets. This may help to isolate whether a condition is specific to one camshaft, one bank, or caused by a condition with the primary crankshaft timing.

I'm sorry but when dealing with these problems your best bet is to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop , I have never see a DIY'ER correct the problem with these , an in the end always end up taking it to the dealer .
