1999 ford windstar no spark. I changed out cam sensor, ran fine for a week. then no spark. changed cam again, ran fine about a week. no spark again, let set a week, started right up and ran, so I was told the crank sensor might be knocking out the cam sensor, so I replaced crank sensor. van ran well for 3 months, now I have no spark again. what could possibly be making these sensors keep going out? I just put in another cam sensor and it started right up. Started and shut it off several times. Took it for a drive, went 1 mile and it died while driving. It restarted but had no power and it died again. now it won’t start. Any ideas? Thanks ---

I think you might have a wiring problem, may not necessarily a cam sensor problem. Have you done a wiggle test? (That is, start the car, wiggle the connector, wires going in to the connector, wiring leading away from the connector, and the harness that it goes in to?) ---

Yes, I moved all the wires around, made no differance.
