CPS issues (recall...)???

It could be completely unrelated and a bent push rod, but last week I picked up my truck from the shop after getting the rear end fixed... They did the CPS recall without my ok. I was pissed but o well...

Now this week I have a obivious miss, #8 fails a cont test and is at 4.5-4.7% value on AE...

What issues are people having with the new CPS's???

IIRC, problems with #3 and #8 cylinders were a problem with the new gray CPS.

I think the #3 and #8 were thep problematic cylinders but I cant remember for sure. This is a bump so hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can give you some help.
Darm Chris you type fast. beat me to it.

Run the CCT a dozen more times and there's a good chance you'll see #3 fail also. It's a known issue for high rotational velocity numbers on #3 & #8 with the "new & improved" CPS. Mine would fail #3 about half the time.

I started typing with no replies to this question. Now Chris had to jump in front of me. (I'll let Costa slide because I like his avatar)

With my recall gray, rough running and very rough starts, just didn't sound right. Put a black CPS in from Clay, smooth all around, idle,starts,running..can defintly tell the difference. Good luck...

LOL... Funny...

Printed the test results...

#3.... 2.2%

#8... 4.7%


Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now has everyone been getting a knock with this as well, or just the failed test? I could have a bent pushrod, but it sure seems like a timing issue.

I never had a knock, but they appear to affect some trucks worse than others. We've read about dealers charging to replace injectors based on failed CCT & perdel readings that turned out to be related to the CPS.

Beyond the black CPS, is there any fix in the future for us?

Seems like impending doom if the black CPS are in limited supply and the grey ones are killing us.

Maybe Banks sabotaged us?

Mine is #3 .. 3.2 and #8.. 6.1 (just put in reman non LL). Stopped at ford to get recall done. To just get numbers while i am waiting for black.. My truck has no recall on cps.. Dang. Just wanted the data while i wait for pete's black one to come in. I also have a #8 knock. Started last summer out of the blue. Seem better now with the cck but still there. I will see what happens when the Black ones come in.. Anyone have a non LL in #8 and the black CPS number?

Yep, my truck is like that. I still have a black CPS that I run, and my LL injector is long gone.

My #8 is quiet. In fact, I got that injector from Joe (CSIPSD), and I'm still grateful for it.


But I have a knock on either #2 or #4. Started knocking 2 years ago, and hasn't quit since. It's just another stock AD that decided to hammer away. It happens more often than you might think.
