So it gets better, i had the CPS replaced the other week to the grey one cause the truck started acting up in Sept and died a few times at random while driving, but would fire right up after it died, so we brought it, and since then it's been ideling down around 500rpm's and feeling really rough. We have put maybe 100 miles on it in the last 3 weeks and yesterday it just flat died at a stoplight and would not for the life of it start back up...in rush hour, in the snow none the less
So i called the local ford dealer, explained to him what happened, also explained my buddy also has an 02 with a 6sp, just had his replaced with a grey cps, and got maybe 200 miles before his died, and had to swap it out for his spare international one to get it running (this was 8 months ago and he's had no trouble since). I also mentioned id' found online that the 6spd manual trucks have had some issues with injector #8 going bad and not firing with the new grey cps. He told me, the only way to find out was to hook it up to his diagnostics machine which was a $250 fee i had to pay up front. If it was the CPS they'd cover the fee, but if any other error codes come up, i pay the feel, so the fact that i'm having this hard start issue when warm, i'm stuck paying the fee....and on top of that, they want me to put my spare cps in, drive it down there, and THEN in the parking lot, change it out to the grey CPS they installed because they can only check it with the one they put in, even though the truck wont start....i LOVE my ford, but man do i HATE Western Slope Ford in Grand Junction, CO
