Well that is what they need to do it is described in the FSM, While they are at it have them check to make sure they plugged everything in but it is almost certainly a case of they didn't perform the reset procedure.

After changing the cam I believe the can need to be adjusted at specific degree , what is this degree and do we need sprocket kit for that ?

i think you may be getting very few responses because this is essentially uncharted water for 99.99% of the people on this forum. very little is known about cams in this car. has your mechanic every performed a 370 cam swap before?

I already explained what he has to do, you need to download the factory service manual, go to section ec, scroll down to cam removal replacement and follow the procedure to reset the vvel sensor on the backs of the heads, it is the big one held in by 2 bolts this needs to be done or the car will not know where the vvel shafts are positioned. you need a volt meter and a 10mm wrench.
fuct, Presto, JARblue and 5 others like this.

OP, you asked for advice, this guy told you what to do (twice!). why dont you try this first? is your mechanic skilled enough to do the above?

I thought of another reason he may be having issues, if your mechanic didnt reset the valve lash after the cam install you may have valves that arent closing, get your motor compression tested if it fails, find a new mechanic.
