CPS-related problems?

My truck's a '95 7.3, I had all the usual cps-gone bad problems, poor acceleration, stalling at speed and idle, and stalling right after start-up. I ordered a new one from Ford ($31), put it in, truck ran great for 15 miles then stalled once again pulling in the driveway. Check engine light came back on. Does the check engine light come on for a bad cps? Maybe a bad cps?

I don't recall my check engine light ever coming on when my sensor failed.

My cel never came on. I have heard of getting a BAD CPS. The recommendation is to try another cps.

Are you getting any codes? If you're getting a P0340, P0341 or P0344 code, that's a CPS problem.

And...No; CEL was not activated with a CPS problem. My OD light began blinking, indicating a DTC was a saved in memory.
