Cannot find crank shaft position sensor on 2004 lincoln ls v8

engine size is immaterial when it comes to steering
what matters is body length, mounting positions and methods, tie rod lengths , position of pinion , method f attaching steering shaft
best if you go to a wreckers and view both steering assemblies side by side to check any differences
or you can pull both out and interchange or you can go to a dealer spares and see if the boxes have the same part numbers
or you can ring a steering specialist shop and ask if there is any differences

The camshaft position sensor is located on the timing chain cover.(4.6L engine) Front of the left (drivers side) cylinder head.

The 3.9 L V8 Lincoln LS does not have a PCV valve. There is a tube on the drivers side of the engine that goes from the valve cover/crank case to the air intake and this is what performs the crankcase ventilation. There is no valve to change

For the Lincoln LS V8, there is a flexable tube on the drivers side of the engine that runs from the valve cover/crankcase to the air intake tube. There isnt a PCV valve for this engine, it is just a tube for ventilation.

Hey Bruce,here's a link to where the sensor is at.Here's the sensor.

Sounds like the cam position sensors sticking thru
the valve covers.

My 2004 v8 is doing that on the driver side a little.

Big job to remove valve covers for that,to replace a seal
Live with it & wipe off every couple of weeks

Hi, be sure to oil the o-ring and twist the new sensor as you push it in.. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Hello cmalstrom.

The sensor is mounted to the right of the harmonic balancer at the front of the engine.
On the diagram below look to the left about 3/4 of the way down.
I apologize for the size, we are limited here for amount of room.
If you need more help with this please ask me.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi cmalstrom, typically crank sensors are mounted either near or behind the vibration damper (crankshaft pulley), or in one side of the block near the bottom. The sensor will have a connector plugged into it with two wires. Here is a link to the part for your car Crank Sensor. he photo below shows what it looks like with the bolt, and wire connector removed. I hope this helps. :)

You just have to make sure that you get the flat blade looking stem out of the throttle body lined up with the slot in the sensor.
