01 ford mustang how to install camshaft synchronizer

Since reading this post, it seems to be related to engine timing, since this sensor has to do with cam position. My thoughts were an engine timing issue or a fuel system prob. You can rotate it anywhere at this point, just make sure you can put the sensor on afterwards. This may occur in rapid succession if hard acceleration is continued. Before you tighten the bolt to the synchronizer down, make sure the metal piece (pin) is sticking up is exactly in the middle of the window where your sensor goes. It's as though there's a total loss of power for a brief second. We have also began having this problem- when at speeds over 40mph, when hard acceleration is applied, we hear a clattering or pinging sound from the engine compartment. The fact that this occurred leads me to believe that there is a lubrication prob involving the oil pump, because when revving the engine, the oil pump works harder and gets the job done, thereby eliminating the sound? The sound went away when revving the engine. Sounds like it's located near the top of the compartment rather than the lower. It's making the same chirping sound from the rear of the engine compartment. This is a great post, thanks for the helpful info.
