Websites for getting datasheets for Ford 220HP engine sensors?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on sourcing datasheets for Ford 220HP engine sensors, specifically cam and crank sensors. Participants highlight the challenge of obtaining these datasheets, as they are typically proprietary to Ford and may not be publicly available. The consensus is that these sensors are likely custom-made, and users may need to identify the original sensor manufacturers and their part numbers for further information. Reverse engineering is suggested as a potential method to acquire the necessary specifications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of automotive sensor types, specifically cam and crank sensors.
  • Familiarity with Ford engine specifications and proprietary parts.
  • Knowledge of reverse engineering techniques for automotive components.
  • Ability to identify and research original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Ford engine specifications and sensor compatibility.
  • Learn about reverse engineering methods for automotive sensors.
  • Investigate OEMs that manufacture sensors compatible with Ford engines.
  • Explore online forums and communities focused on Ford engine modifications and repairs.
USEFUL FOR

Automotive engineers, mechanics, and enthusiasts seeking to understand or modify Ford 220HP engine sensor systems will benefit from this discussion.

@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.
