Have you done a hard re-boot on the car?

 

[theblackstallio]

No I have not, how do you do that???

Was this the P0340 codes? I had similar issues and it was the alternator, if not I would try the cam phasers. Does it show a particular bank in the codes or both banks 1 & 2

Alot of times when codes like this are thrown, when you replace the part and reset it, it's stored in the system. We usually disconnect the negative terminal for 30-40mins and reconnect it.

hey boss had the same thing happen in my stang when i first purchased it went through the same process you are . . . new alternator, new cam sensors, and finally i made the dealer that i purchased the car from reimburse me first then take the car back and finally his mechanics took it to a ford dealer and found out it was one of the cam phasers, they went through a small oil change company used something other than motor craft oil and oil filter and somehow got a fiber (from the o-ring in the filter i'm guessing) was stuck in the phaser and so one side was phasing correctly and the other was stuck causing a check engine light to kick on, long story short they replaced all timing components and have never had a check engine light since. hope this helps out a little......
