hey guys im new to this forum and new to fords coming from gm's here. but i just got my car on friday and it started running rough and basically not wantin to run good. me and my dad hooked are scanner up to it and it was showin a p0141 code for the downstream 02 heater circuit malfunction and setting a crank position sensor code. and when we hooked the scanner up today it was showin a cam position sensor code. i was just wondering if you guys would have a knowledge to help me get this running better of have any idea what it could be. thanks guys

 

Could you give us some details like what year the car is, how many miles, anything else wrong with it.

ya it a 95 5 speed all stock, 180k on it but it was supposedly mostly highway.nothing else wrong just running kinda rought like i described earlier

 

anybody have any suggestions?

 

If you have an 02 sensor out, I'd start there. It will be messing up your A/F ratio - which can lead to rough firing, poor performance and poor fuel economy. I'd look at thecrank sensor and the cam position sensoras well asap. Could be sensors out, which is a quick fix. But if the sensor is reading a real oops - I wouldn't drive it until I got it fixed. If you get it firing with incorrect timing, it'sa good way to need a rebuild.
