Three problems related to ignition have been reported for the 2002 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Failure of cam position sensor on 2002 f250 7. 3 diesel superduty. Vehicle started to die for no reason at random times. Took vehicle to Ford dealer, and they pointed to cps. Replaced cps at a cost of $200 and problem went away. Thought the problem was fuel related to begin with until I went online and found the failure on the internet ,and then suspected by the dealer. No codes read.
I have a Ford 2002 F-250 super duty that the spark plug blew out f the cylinder head. This caused a very significant power loss causing the truck to slow very quickly much like applying the brakes but not using them. This caused a very near accident on a highway traveling at 50 mph and the slowing without brake lights nearly caused an accident. After approximately 1 min of researching the problem about the accident I realized that this problem is huge !!!! to say the least. There have been countless reports of spark plugs blowing and either people being stranded to near collisions. Also I am a firefighters paramedic and my nose is no hydrocarbon meter but the levels of gasoline vapors that accumulate in a very short time. My question to that is how much vapor collects in the cab compartment and can it cause a compartment fire before the driver can safely get the vehicle to a safe area to exit the vehicle? I bring this to your attention because of my research I do not believe any letters or calling Ford motor as just a vehicle owner can make Ford motor company more aware of this problem. Thank you!.
The ignition shut off unexpectedly. The vehicle was towed to a service dealer and they were unable to resolve the problem. There was no code for the check engine at the early stages of the problem. The engine died and the consumer's vehicle drifted into the other lane. The service dealer found that the cam sensor was bad and the exhaust sensor was replaced.
