Driving home yesterday, 2 minutes into my trip my 00 X just quits cold. No sputtering - like you turned off. It restarted once then not again that night. Today I got it started right away but again after 2 minutes it quit and won't restart. I waited a few hours and same thing. I've got fuel to the filter bowl. Oil level normal. I did have it in to the dealer last month for other work and they did the CPS recall/upgrade. Is this a symptom of a bad CPS? I don't have a spare to try. I can't tell which color it is.
Thanks for the offer Brad. I've got the luxury of time as I have another vehicle as my daily driver. I may try the dealer for a replacement. It was just Christmas when it went in. Although I will probably get another gray. DP doesn;t have any listed on their site nor does eBay. Any other dealers have black ones?
I sent a friend of mine to IH for a CPS, they gave him a blue one, the same kind I got when I went there! He asked if they have a black one, they said they only ever sold the blue ones, they have sold many of them since the black ones from ford were junk!
Sheesh.... we finally figure out which is the best one.... and now you can't get them??? I hope they didn't stop making them, though that would figure...
