VCT solenoid
By Benno - 07/14/2003 10:02:03 PM; IP 12.81.192.148
I have a Contour with the Zetec engine.
The VCT solenoid is not working (Resistance is infinite).

1) Is there a way to just replace the solenoid or do I have to replace the whole assemply?
Where do I get a replacement part? I can't find anything at Fords or Motocrafts web parts store.

2) Is it normal, that the camshaft is flipping forward by the pressure of the valve when a cam goes past the maximum opening position? Isn't the VCT mechanism supposed to be spring loaded so that it also would work without oil pressure?

Does anyone know?

Thanks, Benno.
