Exclamation Help....wont Start...just Died!!!

I was running fine all day...Stopped at a buddies house and when I left..Truck would not start...It would initially fire for a second and then die..would not stay running for more than a second...Im thinking fuel pump or fuel filter problem...Cant check now...will have to wait till AM. noticed 1 time today when driving a slight hesitation but it went away...it was a split second thing at about 50 MPH..Im pretty sure it has some bearing on the problem...Help..Any suggestions are appreciated

Do you have a spare cam sensor you can plug in it?

You can look up CPS on ebay, or get one from Ford or International (where they're called CMP). I'd get the black one. Around $60 on Ebay, $100 or so from International.

Check the thread at the top of this section, called Common Mods, for links to info on the CPS such as changing it, etc.

It is worth trying. A faulty camshaft position sensor is the cause of the unexplained "died, won't start" problem the vast majority of the time. You can get one for right around $100 if you have an International dealer close by....nearly double that at the Ford dealer.

You're absolutely right with studder at 50 MPH, and with what you've described so far, I think Cookie and Fraalan are right CPS (Cam Position Sensor)

It's about a 10 - 20 Min (or 2 beer) fix, with a 10mm bolt.

Here is just one of our sponsors that has a replacement:
Garrett Shields
Pure Diesel Power
FTE Sponsor
715-498-0707 Call anytime!
www.puredieselpower.com

These might take a few days to get or ask if they will overnight - if you are really in a pinch
Here's the link to the Blue CPS ($105).
https://www.ford-trucks.com/lc/lc.php?action=do&link=htt...oducts_id%3D126

Here's the stock ($88):
https://www.ford-trucks.com/lc/lc.ph...ucts _id%3D110

Or...See if you can find and International dealer in your area. Tell them it's for a T444E in a 4700

Here's a article from our tech site on how to install:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/...ke_Diesel.html

Another install from Pure Diesel Power (w/pics):

Let us know if/when you change it and how is goes after.

Yes. Thats the funny thing about the CPS, it can be working fine one minute, flat out die for the next few days or so and magically work again. Have you replaced the CPS yet, or are you still waiting for them to arrive?
