Hello, I have a 96 power Stroke, That stalls every now and then. I'll be driving down the highway doing 45 - 60 mph then the motor stalls. Most of the time 5 /10 sec's later it starts back up and down the road we go. What could this be. Could it be a fuel problem? Someone please help. Thanks

Rob this is a very common problem with the 7.3 powerstroke. The cam position sensor (cps) is going out and needs replaced. Get one off ebay for $55 or your local international dealer for <$100

 

Thanks FOREMANES, Is this sensor hard to replace? I can hold my own when it comes to working on auto's or should i send it in to the mech. could this make it hard to start at times?

 

Super easy to replace. The sensor is at the the 10 o'clock positon by the crank balancer and pulley. Just need a 10mm socket or wrench. It's that easy.

 

Thanks to all for the info on what was wrong and how to replace. Thanks again.
