Cps?

As stated in my other post "Flutter Problem" can a CPS be messing up and still not throw a code? By the way had the codes checked at an AutoZone with a hand held, are they reliable?

Changing CPS today and hope it works or I'll be taking into a deal $$$$. Unless there's someone on here from Wichita Ks that might be able to help.

See my reply in your other thread. Autozone scanners cannot read our codes.

What what I understand the cps does not throw a code when it goes bad, and like Jim said those autozone scanners cant read the codes from a PSD.

CPS failures do all kinds of strange things. I wouldn't rule it out. Go to Ford and pick up a replacement or if you haven't had the recall performed, have them replace it on their dime. X3 - Autozoo can't read our truck codes.

Just be careful with a new CPS. The grey recall CPS's can cause a whole new set of problems.

Can a CPS cause a lot of whitish blue smoke and no other symthons
The reason I ask is a couple years ago I started my truck and it was like a fogger.I origioaly blamed it on cool temps and maybe didn't run glow plugs,but after about 25 minutes it didn't go away
I changed the CPS and it never done it again.Coincidence?

I know that retarded injecto timing will cause the symtom I had

I did purchase the CPS (grey in color) at the time I got the GP but we didn't put in on, CPS is going on now and I hope it fixes it.

Pocket, what's up with the grey recall CPS? The I'm putting on now is grey in color is that what you're talking about? What kind of problems?
