P0020 FORD - 2008 5.4L 3 valve triton check engine light came on

Question

I was told that if the Intake cam position actuator was bad it could cause a tick in the moter it told me to disconnect them one at a time to see if the ticking goes away it didnt so i plugged them back in and after i drove it approx 10 miles the check engine light came on I put my meter on it and it came up with a generic code P0020 Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit Open (Bank 2) any help would be greatly appreciated Thankyou Jim

Answer 1

The most popular failure regarding cam position actuator is that it plug upthere is a oil screen that plugs up. the actuator are used for valve overlap.The code P0020 is for actuator being open,being open at idle would cause a rough idle, inspect the wire to this actuator make sure it is truly connected, a replacement may be the solution
