runs like hell

2000 Exc.7.3L
Started home from work yesterday and rough running. Would not excellerate just bogged down when I stepped on the pedal. It seemed to be misfiring on the left side (drivers side). So I took the valve cover off to inspect the UVC wireing. It didn't seem to be faulty, I unpluged all the connectors and inspected and reinstalled everything. When I attempted to start it ran like it was firing all wrong (barely would run) worst than before. Could the CPS possibly be bad ? Or did I miss something under the valve cover ?

is there a check engine light? if so then i would assume there is an electrical problem with injectors. a cps will cause a cutting out condition or a no runner most of the time. but if there is a CEL i would get it scanned that will tell you where to start.

I wouldn't discount the cam sensor....there are a wealth of "abnormal" running conditions threads that have been cured by the CMP.

It sounds like the IDM might have gone out, assuming you didn't miss a burned harness. Did you remove the valvecovers? The harness from the UVC connector to the injectors can short out too.

If not the cps my vote would be the IDM also had one do about the same way. Check ebay for these items pretty good prices.
