FUEL PUMP

[Powerstrokesmoke99]

ok so my truck stalled 4 times in the last 3 days, and when i went to start my truck this mornin it took like 10 seconds for it to start, is my fuel pump goin out? oh and the fuel filter is brand new. thanks

I would check your camshaft position sensor. My truck kept stalling and than wouldnt start. The 7.3 are famous for the Camshaft Position Sensor going bad. You can get them at most auto parts store for around $25-$30.

well it starts but it just takes awhile in the mornin then its fine the rest of the day.

Mine was doing that also. it would all most cut off then take off again.i think it was water in the fuel. changed filter and added ceafaom straight to the fuel filter canister and to the tank. been good to go so far.

yea but wouldnt the water in fuel light come on the dash?

those are symptoms of the CPS tottaly.. same prob with mine... it would stall randomly on the freeway going 80. and wouldnt start sometimes. finnaly got it fixed after 1000 buks..
just replace it for liek 20-30 and your good to goo

Sounds like the glowplug relay crapped out. I would check that. Mine started hard in the morning, but fine the rest of the day when my gp relay died.

Ford replaced my CPS for my 97 in April. I received a couple of recall notices last year and finally took it in. I don't know if they have upgraded the sensor?This is the 3rd CPS I have replaced. Both cases were classic, engine would just shut down for a few seconds then start running. For me it was always crusing down the Freeway at 65 - 70 and it was like I turned off the ingnition.

thats what i thought too but it only gets down to 50 degrees here and it cranks over just fine it just doesnt want to go.

could be a weak fuel pump, bad icp sensor, tired hpop. unplung the icp sensor then try to start it. it should default values. if it works better its your icp, if not then back to the drawing board. are you leakign any fuel in the valley or on the ground? can you get access to a liquid filled gauge to check the fuel pressure? a cps is a cheap trial, good to ahve a spare anyway.
