CPS codes are in the P034x range. But if it just completely fails, it won't throw a code. In short, the PCM can't tell the difference between a completely dead CPS and the engine just not turning.

Good info right there. That would explain why it throws a code sometimes and some times no code.

Thanks. The truck "bucks" a few times, and yesterday when it bucked it then shutdown. It started right back up, and and ran fine the rest of the day.
Is a OEM Ford CPS still the best one to get?

It's funny, Riffraff sells the OEM Ford CPS with the 'C' on the end which fits from 1994.5 - 2003, but you see the OEM Ford CPS with the same number and a 'B' on the end which only works with 1997 - 2003.
In short the 'C' fits them all, and the 'B' fits a narrower selection. Wonder why? Maybe the 'B' is an older version!

That's exactly why. The letter designation on the end of the part number is the revision of the part. Therefore B is the second gen, and C is the third revision (current version) of the part.
