Engine Performance problem
1997 Ford Aerostar 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Aerostar sputters, read code for engine light, reads misfire on cylinders 1 and 6, also camshaft position sensor. What relation is the camshaft sensor? Is the ignition coil the problem? I'm not even sure if its distribitorless or not?

IT is distributorless.

First thing I would do on this is too pull of the camshaft position sensor. I think you will find the shaft (syncro assy) itself is bad.

Take off the sensor and get a look underneath to see how it looks. Prolly chewed up. Napa sells the with the tool to install it as well for around $60
