'96 F250 turbo powerstroke-Dying

[jubal]

Help....My first diesel done great till a few months ago. It started by missing going down the hiway. Didn't do it often. Now it is completely dying is happens going down the road or setting idling. Only does it rarely; It is not setting a code. Help me !!!!!!!!

start with the basics ,check oil level and quality of oil, if you know someone that has a scanner see if they will pull codes 4 you

[Rob]

what about checking all of your filters, Air, Oil, Fuel. just a thought.

change the CPS, when mine was on the way out it did about the came thing, i raplaced it and it has been fine ever since.

Does CPS mean cam position sensor. I am new to this and where does one find the best and cheapest CPS. Here in Ks. my mechanic said it was 300.00 dollars

thats a bit pricy for the cam position sensor. alot of folks get them from ebay for around 50 bucks or so. new from ford they are maybe 100.
you might also look for an international dealer, they have good prices on parts for the 7.3l
easy to change also, sits on the bottom of the engine and is easy to get to, heres a write up on the procedure.
