The EP-CAMS2607 is a complete 2-wire camshaft synchronizer for the Ford 4.0L OHV Cologne V6 in Explorer, Ranger, and Mazda B4000 for the 1999-2000 model years. Ford revised the 4.0L camshaft synchronizer in 1999, transitioning from the 3-wire sensor design (covered by CAMS2603/2604 with F67Z-12A362 OEM numbers) to a 2-wire sensor design with a new XL5Z-12A362 OEM number series.

The 3-wire and 2-wire versions of the 4.0L synchronizer are NOT interchangeable -- the connector, sensor circuit, and housing are different between the two generations. Installing the wrong version results in incorrect or absent cam position signal, immediate engine fault codes, and a no-start or rough-running condition. Verify your production year before ordering: 1996-1998 applications use 3-wire (CAMS2603); 1999-2000 applications use 2-wire (EP-CAMS2607).

The 1999-2000 Explorer and Ranger with the 4.0L OHV V6 remains a common cam synchronizer replacement application. Ships complete with 2-wire cam position sensor and timing alignment tool.

Installation guide

Confirm 2-wire sensor connector on existing synchronizer before installing EP-CAMS2607. If connector has 3 pins, use CAMS2603 instead. Set engine to TDC cylinder 1. Mark and disconnect old synchronizer. Install EP-CAMS2607 in same orientation. Use included alignment tool to confirm rotor C-vane position at timing window mark. Tighten hold-down to factory torque.

Frequently asked questions

What is a camshaft synchronizer and how is it different from a distributor?
A camshaft synchronizer is a cam-driven position sensor assembly that replaced the traditional distributor on many Ford EFI engines of the 1990s. Like a distributor, it is driven by the camshaft and mounted in a similar location in the engine block -- but instead of routing high voltage to spark plugs, it contains a camshaft position sensor (CPS) that sends a digital signal to the EFI computer (ECM/PCM). The ECM uses this signal to precisely time fuel injection pulses and ignition firing. On these vehicles, ignition is handled by a separate coil-pack system, not by the synchronizer itself. The synchronizer provides only the camshaft timing reference signal -- but if this signal fails, the engine will not start or will run very poorly with CEL codes P0340, P0341, P0342, or P0343.
Does the EP-CAMS2607 ship with the cam position sensor and timing alignment tool?
Yes. The EP-CAMS2607 ships as a complete assembly including the synchronizer housing, the integrated camshaft position sensor pre-installed in the housing, and a timing alignment tool. The alignment tool is a C-shaped or window-type tool that clips onto the synchronizer during installation to confirm the rotor is positioned correctly relative to TDC before tightening the hold-down bolt. Using the alignment tool is critical -- reinstalling without it can result in a mistimed cam signal that causes immediate engine fault codes and poor running conditions. No additional components are required for direct OEM replacement.
What is the difference between the 1998 and 1999 Ford Explorer 4.0L cam synchronizer?
The 1998 Ford Explorer 4.0L OHV V6 uses the 3-wire synchronizer (CAMS2603, OEM F67Z-12A362-AC), while the 1999 Explorer uses the revised 2-wire synchronizer (EP-CAMS2607, OEM XL5Z-12A362-AA/AB). Ford changed the sensor circuit design for the 1999 model year, which is why the OEM number changed from the F67Z to the XL5Z prefix. The 2-wire and 3-wire versions have different connector housing shapes that make visual confirmation straightforward -- count the pins in the connector to determine which version your Explorer uses.
What are the symptoms of a failing camshaft synchronizer?
The most common symptoms of a failing camshaft synchronizer include: Check Engine Light with diagnostic trouble codes P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction), P0341, P0342, or P0343; intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but will not fire; rough or erratic idle quality; hesitation or stumbling under acceleration; poor fuel economy from incorrect injection timing; and stalling at operating temperature. The synchronizer seal can also fail, allowing oil to leak around the housing. On Ford 4.0L OHV V6 applications, the synchronizer is a known high-failure-rate component, and many mechanics recommend proactive replacement on high-mileage Explorer and Ranger 4.0L engines.
What is the difference between the 3-wire and 2-wire cam synchronizer on the Ford 4.0L?
The Ford 4.0L OHV V6 (Cologne engine) used two different cam synchronizer sensor connector configurations during production. Vehicles through approximately 1998 use a 3-wire connector (OEM F67Z-12A362-AA through AC revision). From 1999 onward, Ford revised the synchronizer to use a 2-wire connector (OEM XL5Z-12A362-AA). These two versions are NOT interchangeable -- the connectors, sensor circuit, and housing design differ between the 3-wire and 2-wire generations. Verify your vehicle's production year to determine which version you need: 1992-1998 4.0L applications use the 3-wire design; 1999-2000 applications use the 2-wire design. If uncertain, check the connector on your existing synchronizer before ordering.
How do I install the camshaft synchronizer correctly?
Correct installation of a camshaft synchronizer requires setting the engine to TDC (Top Dead Centre) on the number one cylinder compression stroke before removing the old synchronizer. Mark the position of the synchronizer housing and rotor on the old unit before removal so you can confirm the new unit goes in at the same orientation. After installing the new synchronizer, use the included alignment tool to verify the rotor position matches the correct timing mark before tightening the hold-down bolt. On Ford applications, the leading edge of the rotor's C-shaped vane must align with the timing mark visible through the synchronizer window when the engine is at TDC. Tighten the hold-down to factory torque specification. Failure to use the alignment tool results in a mistimed cam signal that immediately sets fault codes and causes rough running.
How do I order the EP-CAMS2607 for export or wholesale?
EP supports single-unit orders for market sampling, carton quantities for repair shops and parts counters, and container-volume wholesale orders. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days. OEM branding and private-label packaging are available for qualifying volumes. Contact our team via the inquiry form or WhatsApp for pricing and availability.
