Hope I'm not having the new CPS problems!

Just had Ford due the CPS recall. I was low on fuel and right before I got to the diesel hut my truck stalled and regained itself. I was thinking it might have been due to the empty tank. It seemed like my truck started better/faster and ran quieter. I have not had a chance to run it since I filled the tank.

Let's just say the thought of pushing was making me nervous.

Although it probably is just a low fuel issue, you are about the third person just recently that started having problems right after installing the new CPS. Could this be a look of things to come?

I sure hope not because I was only about 2 miles from the Ford dealer when it started.

Give it a chance with the full tank. It could run a little rough until the air gets out. Let us know what you find.
