Here's The Best Explanation?
Here's The Best Explanation?
"...I'm getting a whining sound while driving from under the hood. According to this thread, it could be:
"..
Turns out that this squeek is common on the Ford 3.8l V6 (mine is at 90,000 miles).
It's the camshaft position sensor. It sits right behind the water pump smack dab dead center front of the engine with an electrical connection. So, with the "screwdriver to the ear stethoscope test" you can and do get a transferrance of squeek through to the water pump (and think the water pump is bad) it is actually the camshaft position sensor or sometimes called the camshaft syncronizer.."

Any thoughts on that?..."

No final answer on the whine (heard and saw another 'Stang of similar vintage with same noise); next question -
before applying rust proofing, how difficult is it to remove and replace after the two plastic panels attached to both the side and underbody of the car? I see, so far, two screws and many plastic rivets.
