1998 Ford Contour P1380 and P1381 Fault: Camshaft Position Actuator & Timing Issues

Model: 1998 Ford Contour Fault Code: P1380 Posted: 2005-07-17 20:45

I own a 1998 Ford Contour with a four-cylinder engine and approximately 89,000 miles. The vehicle is currently displaying two diagnostic trouble codes: P1380 (Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit - Bank 1) and P1381 (Camshaft Position Timing Over Advanced - Bank 1). Additionally, I'm seeing a P0135 code indicating an O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction in Bank 1 Sensor 1. These codes are affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency. What specific repairs or diagnostics should I perform to resolve these issues? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
