Ford Camshaft Position Sensor F4TZ-12K073-C — OEM Replacement, Direct Fit

Genuine Ford F4TZ-12K073-C camshaft position sensor — an OEM replacement sensor built to restore accurate valve timing signals for compatible Ford engines.

This Ford-branded camshaft position sensor (part number F4TZ-12K073-C) is a factory-style component manufactured to the original equipment specifications. It detects the camshaft’s position and sends that signal to the engine control module (ECM) so fuel injection timing and ignition events can be synchronized. Sold as a vehicle-specific, ready-to-install unit with the same fit and connector patterns used in Ford production vehicles, it helps technicians and DIYers replace a failing sensor without modification.

How does this sensor affect engine performance?

The camshaft position sensor provides the ECM with real-time rotational position of the camshaft, which the computer uses to time fuel injection and ignition. A properly working sensor helps the engine run smoothly and supports efficient combustion. Replacing a faulty sensor can resolve idle irregularities and timing misfires.

• Direct OEM fit to Ford applications that specify F4TZ-12K073-C
• Maintains original connector type and mounting points for easy swap-in
