Cam position sensor
I have heard people talk about faulty cam position sensors. When they go bad your tach wont move when cranking. This is the way you tell if its bad-- at least thats what I have heard. I own a 2002 F-350 PSD, CC, 4x4 with 26000 miles. The other day I decided to check if my tach moves when cranking. I does not. My truck runs fine and have had no problems with it. Does this mean my cam position sensor is bad? I dont think so........ So why the theroy of bad CPS=no tach reading when cranking. Does this only apply to certain years?

Mine just went out last week.
I had to get towed.
Mine would start, run for 30-40 sec. and die.
Never watched the tach, to pissed to see staight.
they say $200.00 for the dealer or $100.00 to do yourself
My engine has a 100,000 warranty- cost me $100.00 deductible

You will know when your cam position sensor goes out , cause you will go no where, when it dies rpms drop to nada and will not show until you replace it , or it starts in a few minutes or hours.
Iam no expert but just replaced mine via suggestions here.
