Went to the store and came out, and it would not start It was running fine. It cranks good and there is no sign ofa check engine light. The wait to start light comes on and goes off like normal. Please HELP!

 

could be a CPS if it did it that sudden and is still cranking normal and has the WTS workin like normal.

any smoke while cranking over?

does it seem like its trying to start?

 

I am not sure what the CPS is, and it just cranks No smoke nothing,

 

Try seach this form for CPS Cam Position Sensor,

This will help if you need to change it.

Barebackjake & Rockyrider Thanks for the help! but I could not wait . I had to send it to ford, I did everything I could think of but I just came up empty. YES it was the Cam Position Sensor $300 installed OUCH! Also TWO Batteries, One of them looked like it was weak according to the little inspection window that should show green, for good. Both were 5 years old. (Been looking for that one). I was wondering if a performance tuner would have told me if I had a bad Cam Position Sensor. The Check engine light never came on. Would it have came up as a code. How would any one been able to tell that was the problem. Do I need to get a performance programer that will read codes. Aso which one should I get.

 

I use Super Chips 1705, it reads codes.

 

alot of times the cps code dosnt show up i would say about 90% of the time it dies before the cps code pops up.

ok so you did get batteries AND a cps for $300 that actually isnt too bad. i carry spares and have a 10mm socket and wrench and a flat blade screwdriver 10 minutes later your on the road.

 

On average, when is the CPS likely to go out?

I'm almost at 117K miles and probably should pick up a couple of spares to be prepared....

 

Sorry I forgot to tell you that the two batteries was $200 more installed.and $300 for the CPS installed.
