2010 Ford Escape - Camshaft Synchronizer
The camshaft synchronizer uses camshaft position sensors to monitor the point of engine rotation, and relay the data to the vehicle's computer. This sets the timing for firing the spark plugs for combustion. A camshaft synchronizer is a mechanically-driven part that rarely fails, but can over time. This may cause rough idle, stalls, and loss of engine power. If you experience engine misfire, the engine shutting off while driving, or trouble starting your vehicle, you may need a new camshaft synchronizer. At O'Reilly Auto Parts, we carry replacement camshaft synchronizers for select vehicles.
