Ok here is the issue 2004 f150 fx4 5.4 3v

I bought the truck with 180K

terrible idle and ticking

started researching and figured out all the issues with these 5.4 3v

I got into it and went hard off the start replacing parts.

So Far
New spark plugs (8)
New cam phaser (1) driver side
New Lifters (24)
New timing chains (2)
New timing chain rails (4)
New timing chain tensioners (2)
New timing chain lower sprocket (1)
New oil pump (1)
New water pump (1)
New VCT solenoids (2)
New Cam position sensors (2)
New coil packs (8) Accell
New fuel pump driver module (1)
and a fresh oil change with a motorcraft filter and Mobil 1 10w30

The Problem
loud cold start up ticking
moderate ticking throughout warm up and operating temp
rough idle at running temp
stalling at stop signs and quick stops at running temp.

was very driveable for the the past 4-5 months until out of the blue driving home. Extremely rough idle and Running feels as if it is out of timing or as if it's running on only a few cylinders. Is now almost Undriveable

Pulled the check engine codes and got
P0340 camshaft position sensor (A) circuit (bank 1 or single sensor)
P0012 intake (a) camshaft position timing over retarded bank 1

Start with this: What's your idle oil pressure?

If it's less than 25 PSI, your phasers will show the symptoms you present. Unfortunately, all those parts you've swapped in doesn't hide the fact that there is internal damage that is keeping the oil pressure low.
