Hey buddy thanks for the help. i went to parts house and the only one they stock is a grey one so i will give it a try! If it runs worse then i will give you a yell and see if you have any of the black ones left as well as another o-ring. No real problems with the truck, I just bought it and dosent run and idle as smooth as i think it should (compared to my buddies 2000 excursion!)

BTW where in maine are you roughly?

ok thanks for the help

No problem, but I probably should have said this in my post, although I think guzzle mentions it, you should only buy a Ford or International CPS... some of the no-name ones cause problems.

And always keep one in the glove box!

Ok there i put new cps in and seems to have smoothed out some or just me but i have a dead spot in the accelerator pedal i wonder if the sensor on that is gone or do i have another issue im not seeing the truck still starts quick some times and sometimes takes 3-4 revolutions.
the dead spotseems to be in the first 3-5 milimeters of travel
