Automotive Websites for getting datasheets for Ford 220HP engine sensors?

AI Thread Summary
Finding datasheets for Ford 220HP engine sensors, such as cam and crank sensors, can be challenging as these documents are often proprietary to Ford and not publicly available. OEMs typically do not publish detailed specifications for their custom parts, making it difficult to obtain this information. Users may need to identify the original sensor manufacturers and their part numbers for better chances of finding relevant datasheets. Reverse engineering may be necessary if the specific data is not accessible. Ultimately, the need for these datasheets should be clarified, as alternatives may exist for non-Ford applications.

@jack action do you have a good source for this type of info?

What are you wanting to do with these datasheets? Re-program your ECU or something?
 
This may be nearly impossible if those parts are custom made for Ford. The datasheet is likely a Ford document. Even if they don't think it's a trade secret, they have no reason to publish them. This is a really common way for OEMs to specify their parts, even if they are virtually the same as one that has published data sheets. The answer will lie in figuring out the sensor manufacturer and their part numbers. You most likely will have to reverse engineer these.

I am also curious to know why you need to know. If you are trying to find a sensor for some job not related to a Ford motor, there are other alternatives. You won't get much from the OEM. In this case the assumption can be made that the spec ends right where it is no longer useful to Ford in the specific application.

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
