If you haven't gotten a welcome to FTE yet then WELCOME to .

The CPS is the Cam Position Sensor. The CPS sends signals to the PCM so the injectors are fired at the proper time.

You will find that IH and Ford will only stock the gray ones now. Black OEM CPS's are not being produced. Robin's thread that he posted has more than enough reading on them.
