Sorry it took me so long to chime in here. If you wish to cut through all the BS from Ford and repair garages, I will tell you now what they ( use your imagination as to whom I am referring) already know. Unplug the wiring harness from the Crankshaft Position Sensor, then unplug the other wire (Duratech 2.5L V6) in the harness from the oil pressure sensor. Bring the harness up on top of the motor and remove the tape from the outer shielding. Carefully pull the wiring out of the protective (yeah right) casing and remove the tape from the wiring itself. You will now find that the entire outer insulation on this VERY important harness has completely disintegrated and exposed the shielded wire underneath it, (you will also find that this has happened to every major harness on this engine). This shielding protects the wires underneath it from interfering signal noise which over time damages the electronic components causing erratic operation and premature failure of components such as the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the ECM (engine computer). Underneath this shielded wire you will find there are two wires on which the insulation has also begun to crack and peel. This is a KNOWN issue. When you bring this vehicle in for repairs, you will be charged for all types of repairs & services, such as labor, lift charges, diagnostic charges, ECM replacement, crank and cam sensor replacement, o2 sensor replacement. Replacing the crankshaft position sensor most of the time, will repair this issue TEMPORARILY. But, as soon as enough signal noise interferes with the new sensor it too will fail. Usually about three months. This wiring problem will damage the engine computer over time as well making it a costly repair. So save yourself some time and aggravation, cut through the BS right now and go right to the source of the trouble, the wiring harness itself. Good luck.
