Excursion crankshaft sensor symptoms
Summary of the thread
A 2005 Ford Excursion is experiencing a check engine light, reduced engine power, poor throttle response, and increased fuel consumption. The diagnostic code indicates a crankshaft to camshaft reference value issue, suggesting a potential problem with the crankshaft sensor. A similar case confirmed that a faulty crankshaft sensor could cause these symptoms, and it is advised to seek professional diagnosis and replacement to prevent further damage.

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't specifically checked for misfires, but with the poor engine response, I wouldn't be surprised. When you had a similar issue, was it definitely the crankshaft sensor causing all those problems?

In my case, the symptoms were nearly identical, and it turned out to be the crankshaft sensor. Considering the reference value error, I'd strongly suggest taking it to a trusted workshop for a proper diagnosis before you start replacing parts yourself. It could prevent further damage. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate you sharing your experience – sounds like a trip to the workshop is definitely in order. They've told me it was the crankshaft sensor indeed. Cost is about 340€. Hopefully, replacing the sensor will sort everything out.

Sounds frustrating! I drive an Excursion too. Reduced engine power and the engine light... Did you check for misfires as well? Could be related to timing or a faulty sensor throwing things off. Is it possible your timing belt has jumped a tooth?
