Default ahh frustration....

well so im all done with a good carwash and set for a trip outta town the next day.. on the way home i noticed my check engine light is on and im hoping for the bests,like maybe since i put on my o/r h its just the o2 sensors WRONG!! damn so i just checked the trouble code with my predator tuner and it says that my cam alignment is off.. crap of course its my fault i know exactly y its outta wack.. i rev my car up too much to show off that sweet exhaust!
well ne ways wat im pretty sure id be covered by warranty to get this fixed.. my car is an 06 with 17k miles on it
i like my local ford dealership i kinda know the guys that work in the shop personally im just wondering wat is a realistic fixing time..

let me know of any more concerns i should have or if anyone has had this problem

Let us know if the dealership will cover it under warranty. I highly doubt the ones by me would.

How in the heck does revving the engine cause cam misalignment? You've got another problem...

Yeah no way just revving it would knock the cams out of alignment...

I think we're all in big trouble if revving the exhaust causes that big a problem!!!

I doubt reving the engine will cause the cams to go out of wack.
My guess is that it is probably just a bad sensor.

i'm wondering on the Warranty myself.. Hopefully its a simple fix.. I always heard if you rev up to high and to long, you stand a chance to blow the motor up..
