My 04 mustang will be the death of me.
A few days ago my check engine light came on. Got it scanned "camshaft sensor position bank one". Cool. Got a new sensor and replaced it. Worked for about a week. Check engine lights back on... Same reading when I got it scanned. Used a Borg Warner sensor, so it strikes me as off that it's already out. I heard to get a high end sensor to replace and that's what I did. I also read elsewhere that it could be the alternator? But my car is holding a charge... Any ideas?

While I'm here, this is also going down: a heavy vibration and light squeaking in my clutch peddle. Downshifting and deceleration makes the peddle go absolutely bat **** crazy. Idled is when the squeezing starts. The squeaking sounds like a belt... However when you barely engage the clutch, the squeaking stops. I thought it was the throw out bearing. Replaced it, put in a whole new clutch kit, the pressure plate looked fine, however it started again two days later. Though maybe I got a bad bearing? Replaced it, and again, two days later the vibrations and god awful squeaks came back. Any ideas??


Thanks in advance

 

On the camshaft sensor error its probably your alternator going out. Its creating a radio frequency that interferes w/ the PCM.

 

I have the same problem with my 04

 

The camshaft sensor error is almost always the alternator.

I would think the squealing could be the throwout bearing also, but as you changed it twice already I don't know.
