My code that poped up was a cam shaft sensor code. Ford put a new one in under warranty 2 years ago. If it fails what happens???

If it fails your computer loses the timing signal from the motor and won't fire the fuel injectors. If you already had the recall done, the CPS costs about $25 from Ford. Takes about 5 minutes to change yourself.

Could the engine stopping and sputtering because of wayer in the fuel cause this???

You could put a extra hose onto your fuel bowl drain under the engine and drain the fuel bowl into a clear jar and let the fuel set for awhile. If there is water in your fuel, you will see it..

A bad CPS might make you THINK there's water in the fuel, but it's really all electrical.
