I have a 1999 f350 powerstroke 141k miles without a chip. I just filled up last night and this morning driving to work my engine service soon light came on then the truck died. It started back up and did the same thing 5 more times. Finally got the truck home and here I am . I did a search and would like a secound option. I pray it is my CPS but may be the fuel I paid 169.9 a gal. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hey Todd my 1999 F250 just started doing the same thing, also after a tank of gas. It only has 110,000 miles on it. I tried getting new fuel and an additive for it. New fuel/air filters. None of which solved my problem.
What does cps stand for, how much did it cost, and is it hard to install?
Thanks for your help.
It's actually not called a CPS, it's a CMP Sensor. It stands for CaMshaft Position Sensor. You can usually buy one from International for under $100 which is about 1/2 of what Ford charges. Here's some other information for you:
My 2000 F350 started doing this about a month ago I thought it was the CPS so I bought a new one from International for about $92, replaced it work good for about a week or two and then it started to shut down again. No codes thrown no rime or reason to it. Now what????????????????????
Floorit, I bought mine at Ford for 181.00 and it took 5 minutes to replace. It is just below the water pump and to the left. It is easier to do from the underneith .Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Any qeustion please call . God bless.
Thanks for all the input there guys. Just last night my abs light came on and my speedometer will not function under 30 mph. I will be changing out the speed sensor as well the cmp. I got a real busy week coming up so it won't be till mid week or so, but I will post a follow up asap.

Hey John is International some kind of parts house or auto maker?
Thanks
International makes the Power Stroke engines and sells them to Ford. Ford finishes them off with some of their own parts such as the cooling system, oil pan, injectors, electronics, etc. The T444E is the comperable engine to the 7.3 PSD. A lot of the parts for the T444E can be used on the PSD and are usually much cheaper than Ford's parts.
