Truck wont start sometimes...help

[drbalazo]

in the past month this has happened to me 3 times. I try to start my truck it just wont start. It cranks well but just wont start. Batteries are new, alternator is new. The past 2 times I just waited about 5 to 10 minutes and it started right up. Hopefully it does the same thing right now. Any ideas?

have you changed your CPS? From what I have read this can cause all sorts of problems and its prone to go out in the 7.3's

before you buy any parts , check oil levl and is it in good shape and the best thing to do is have codes pulled

Is this during warm or cold starts.

warm starts would be best to change the Cam position sensor ( CPS )

Cold starts maybe check to see if the High pressure oil pump if filled ( HPOP )


Like scuffy said check your oil level b4 anything else

all fluids are were recently changed and i just checked them and they are fine.

this is on warm starts.

I thought it might be the CPS but just wanted other opinion. Went to the dealer and got it for $22. Now I just need to change it and see if that corrects the problem. Thanx

If thats the case It's the CPS.

Change it out and rock and roll

[drbalazo]
