Hi Guys,
I have read here but cant find info. My EF II is giving code 214 - cam angle sensor. I have read that yes it runs without it. Ford would not have put it there if it wasnt needed. Can anyone tell me what I can expect to see if I fit a new sensor ? IE what decisions is the ecu basing on this input ? The car runs fine but im guessing it will do something better maybe fuel efficiency etc if it had this input. Has anyone fitted one and noticed a change ? Thanks for your input.

On the injection side, the ecu cant guarantee batch firing on the correct stroke without it. This is not that big of a deal because the firing of the injector is not really timed that well anyway - injectors 1,3, and 5 open all at the same time, then on the next revolution of the crank stroke 2, 4 and 6 open. The worst case is the ecu fires the injectors on the wrong stroke and the fuel hangs around in the runners for 1/2 a rpm longer. This can make idle go a bit rough and fuel economy can suffer slightly but the power will still be the same. The AU engines have pseudo-sequential efi so the difference is more noticeable.
