1997-2003 F250 F350 7.3L CPS F7TZ-12K073-B Change

Description: 1997-2003 F250 F350 7.3L CPS Sensor F7TZ-12K073-B Change

My 2001 F350 7.3L stumbles sometimes when i'm going down the freeway, it's not the first time it's done this so I knew what it was.

The 7.3 International CPS sensor goes bad sometimes, it either Fails or goes Intermittent. The OEM Ford 7.3L Diesel Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS) F7TZ-12K073-B should fit 1997-2003 Ford F250/350/450/550 7.3L Diesels.

1. If it fails, its very obvious, the engine just won't run and when replaced the engine runs. There are other things that cause the engine not to run, this is just one of them. Here's some other issues that may cause it.

2. If it's Intermittent the engine will have a subtle stumble or cut in and out.

3. There are three other sensors that commonly cause the engine to stumble or fail to start as well, they are the:
- APPS/AGPS Accelerator/Gas Pedal Position Sensor (gas peddle assembly).
- ICP Injection Control Pressure Sensor.
- EBP Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor.
They cost around $25.00 dollars each, except the APPS it's around $80.00.

4. The easiest way to diagnose it, if you don't have computer software, is to change it. If that's not the problem then you have a spare sensor to put behind the seat of your truck so when it goes bad you'll have one, and one of them will go out, guaranteed.
