I had the heads done on my car. It has a p1309 code which is the camshaft positioning sensor. What else could cause this. I changed the sensor and it didn't work

You'd better start with year, make, model and engine size.

I am sorry. It is a 2000 Ford Windstar with a 3.0 liter.

The cam sensor synchronizer in that engine is adjustable and requires a special tool to set it up properly. That is likely what the problem is.

I see this alot. It’s due to the incorrect adjustment of the camshaft position sensor. There are two kinds. A two contact sensor which is variable reluctance and a three contact sensor which is a hall effect sensor. You also gotta remember that they are not interchangeable and a special adjustment tool is necessary for an accurate install.

Didn't I just say that?
