I own a 02 F-250 7.3L, my engine a few times has died when I’ve been driving for about 10 minutes and have to stop at a light. It fires right back up. Now I’m noticing that it wants to stall when I’m driving down the high way occasionally, maybe once every 30 mins. Any thoughts????
Last year I had to fix my UVC harness, it came unplugged on my drivers side, thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction with that. I was thinking it might be my IDM, not sure?
I had my engine light come on, but when I shut my truck off and fired it back up it didn’t come back on? So, I didn’t think I would be able to read the code with out the engine light on.

Possibly a CPS issue. They'll act like that.

Mine is acting like that too. I checked the code after wards and it had a p1316.

That code points back to the IDM. I have seen some of the threads mention a buzz test to determine the precise issue, or code stored within the IDM.

I repaired the valve cover harnesses late last year. I double checked to make sure the harnesses were still good by using an ohm meter and checking the readings on both connectors.

I am almost certain I took my truck in to have the CPS replaced when Ford recalled them. I can't remember the date, but it hasn't been that long ago.

I would install another CPS if I thought it would solve the problem. My truck is running fine now, as it did for three months. I don't want it to die on me somewhere.

Ya my CPS is not apart of the recall, or the fauilty ones listed. Is there a way to test if it's the CPS?

Replace it and see if it stops doing that.

i would replace ur cps mine did exactly that till i replaced they r only about 30 bucks

When the cps went on both of my trucks it did exactly the same as yours.My first truck died when they were 150.00 now the updated ones are only around 30.00 so it is worth just throwing one in.

Great thanks guys, will let ya know how it turns out.

 

[harmspjf]

Just a little FYI, that bolt is a b*tch to get off... On a plus note, the engine seems to be running smoother.

Are you saying crankshaft position senser

Are you saying crankshaft position senser

Although, this is an 11yr. old post Yes, CPS refers to the crankshaft position sensor.

CPS is the Camshaft Position Sensor. There is no crankshaft position sensor.
