Variable cam sensor (Searching / Bad Pitch)
Posted: Wed May 15, 2024 3:15 pmHi,
Ford Coyote V8 - the VCT sensor diagnostics are OK for normal driving, but occasionally cycle through "Search / Bad Pitch / Bad Sensor" shortly after a more aggressive throttle input. An example is shown in the attached log.
Would this normally point to a mechanical issue (such as a timing chain not being controlled adequately under tension), or is it truly likely that multiple VCT sensors could be on the way out at the same time?
Thanks
Craig
