How many of you guys have had the dreaded CPS failure not long after installing your chip? I was reading one of the previous posts and I had exactly, I mean exactly, the same problem not 2 weeks after installing my chip. I changed out the CPS and no more problems yet. Not blaming anyone, but just wondering if the change in performance of the engine could cause pre-mature failure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

Just Coincidence.

Dont see how it could. You should contact the NHTSA. They have been taking Ford to task over these and need as much input as possible from those who have had failures. Its a DANGEROUS flaw. You could lose power downhill or in a turn.

truck hic-uped several times and shut completely off several times, VERY scary!!
removed chip and took truck to ford where they tested my truck and gave the pronouncment that my PCM was fried and no more warrenty as a side note.
My CPS is still going strong so no corralation here.

Stalling after a chip install is usually indicative of bad contact between the chip and the computer.

Also, if you unplug your chip while the truck is on, you will fry your computer. So, any bad connections, or bouncing the connector around can fry your computer also.

CPS is completely independant of the chip. They just fail. No rhyme, no reason.

No relationship whatsoever.

You would think Ford (international) could make a CPS that would last. I was lucky and mine failed just as I was getting on the freeway. Was able to stay on the service road and shut the truck down without a mishap. Mine went out at 48K but haven't had any other problems since replacing it but I only have 62K on my X. I am a believer now and keep an extra CPS in the glove box.
