I have the sevice manual for 1995-2002 Ford vehicles on DVD. I wasn't able
to save the information to a file that I can send to you, but the procedure
for replacing the sensor does include R&R of the upper intake manifold.

| To add more information:
| The chirping sound is directly related to engine speed. I didn't mention
| before that the engine runs kind of rough the first 15-30 seconds or so
| after startup but then "feels" fine. JR said I might have a gasket
problem.
| I'm kinda stumped at this point.
| I have a couple of questions:
| -What are the symptom differences between a bad camshaft position sensor
and
| a bad flex plate? A sign of failure for both is an engine chirp. Does a
| flex plate chirp in proportion to the speed of the car? A camshaft
position
| sensor obviously does.
| -If I have a bad gasket, what would be the most likely culprit? I've read
| of startup roughness being the result of gaskets not being properly sealed
| when cold, but once the car starts to head up, the expansion of heated
parts
| closes the leak. Intake manifold gaskets perhaps? Could a gasket be so
far
| gone there is metal on metal rubbing somewhere?
| Perhaps Mr. Warman could supply a few words.
| Thanks.
