camshaft position sensor (problem)
I have a 96' f-250 PSD. supercab 4x4, I have 177000 mi. My problem is it is eating up the cam position sensors it started sending out a trouble code for this a few days ago. OK here is the bad part this will be the FOURTH one I have put inin the past four years ????????? What could be the problem causing this ??????

My CPS lasted 180,000 miles and now I am having issues with it again at 220,000. Has anyone tried this improved blue CPS? http://www.blackclouddieselperforman...54ed35c53d534b
Will it even work on the OBS psd?

i am not sure about the blue sensor. check out the thread in the superduty diesel section and see the exodus of people that have since taken theirs back out. not enough is known about what this sensor does to for me to feel safe using it. i have seen conflicting reports on what it does to the timing. one very knowledgable guy did alot of testings (he an IH tech) and found that it retards the timing by a few degrees and some "think" it advances the timing. too much conflict and not enough testing done for me. but yes if you get the correct revision it will work in the OBS.

My F-350 died on me while I was pulling up to a red light in a turn, what a scare to loose PS then. I suspect the CPS but all I have red in other forums is it is an intermittent problem. When it died, it died and would not restart even the next day. The glow plug will not come on either. Is it possible to ohm out the CPS or check it with a test light?
