I own a 2000 F250 SD w/7.3 Diesel. I am having a problem with my truck stalling when stopping a lights and when stopped at lights. It also seem to become worse when it rains. I recieved some information from someone else and he said that it might be my Cam Position Sensor or I am getting moisture in one of the sensor conections. Has anyone else had this problem and would there be a solution.
Replace the Cam Position Sensor. Keep a spare in the toolbox.
Well, start by looking on the upper passenger's side of the engine pulley, you'll find the cam position sensor there. Try unplugging and replugging it; sometimes this does make a difference. If that doesn't help, you may want to try a new cps; if that doesn't help then it is time to take it to somebody with a scanner and some experience.
Do these sensors go out quite often?
Thanks for the help.
I will try it. I hope it does work, I don't know how much taking a diesel in to a shop costs these days but I want to try to avoid it.
Thanks for the help.
Yep. They can also go out quite suddenly. With 94k on mine, I'm on my second. I carry another in the glove box in case this one fails.
WOW, I went and purchased one today from the Ford Dealer and Holy Cow that thing cost me $200.00 Bucks. Is there anywhere else that I can get these a little cheaper? I talked to the parts guy and he said that they sell a lot of them and it is an important part.
Buy it from your local International truck dealer. Even from the Ford dealer, I think my last one was around $70.00. Did the salesman have a large jar on the counter with a label that said Vaseline? I think you were greased.
$141.03+ shipping at
I bought a CPS this past summer at the International dealer in Winchester, VA. cost about $80. I think that's about average around here.
