On the 7. 3 powerstroke Ford truck I think it is a safety hazord if the camshaft position sensor were to fail approaching an intersection and you wouldnt have power brakes if the engin shuts off and you may not be able to stop fast enough to avoid an accident. I think there should be a recall on the cps because it seems that my life may be endangered every day on the way to work with the common problem.

Camshaft position sensor failure.

I have a 2001 f250 7. 3 diesel that has stalled or died usually at low speeds while trying to stop or turn a corner. Resulting in a loss of power steering and power brakes. The check engine light has never come on. I have taken it to a mechanic and was told if the check engine light was not on he could not check for a trouble code. He also said it most likely is a camshaft position sensor. I checked with Ford,they want over $500. 00 to replace it. The truck is now out of warranty and I don't want to spend $500. 00 and that not fix the problem.

While driving my 2000 F-250 Ford pick up truck equiped with the 7. 3 liter diesel engine, the engine suddenly stopped running, without any warning signs. This occured while I was entering a circle intersection, fortunately very early in the morning before any rush hour traffic. When the engine shut down I lost both the power steering and the power braking systems. I was starting my turn to enter the circle and at first thought that I had a front flat tire as the vehicle barely responded to my efforts to gradually turn to the right. Then, when I tried to stop it took at least two to three times the distance to come to a stop, as it usually does, even with greatly increased pressure to the brake pedal. If ther had been a vehicle in front of me or another sort of obstruction I could have easily hit it. I was able to return home, a distance of approx 2/3 miles , during which the vehicle stalled out 4 more times, with the same problems of very poor steering and braking . The repair shop replaced an electrical componet refered to as a camshaft position sensor at a cost of approx $377. 00 . I was informed that this particular vehicle and engine combination usually have this same problem of failure of this sensor without any warning, e. G. Ther were no dash warning lights or any warning of any sort and the engines can stall out either running at 65 mph or at idle or anywhere in between. I was fortunate, in that I was going slow and that there was no traffic.

Vehicle was stalling without warning. This could either be at a stop or moving. After troubleshooting, I localized the problem to the camshaft position sensor. I took it to rivertown Ford and asked them to please check it for cps error codes, and basically got blown off as if I did not know what I was talking about. I replaced the cps and it is no longer stalling. This is very dangerous - I nearly wrecked going around a corner at less than 35 miles per hour when it stalled and lost power brakes and power steering.

2001 Ford super duty pickup with 7. 3 diesel, while driving down highway the motor will stop running,which will effect the power steering as well as the brakes. I had the Ford company check for the problem, it was the camshaft position sensor, after checking with other sources, this is a common occurrence which should be corrected.

I own a 2003 Ford F-250 super duty with a 7. 3 litre diesel engine. I came over a hill and was faced with stopped traffic. I had a load in the truck bed making the truck heavier. The truck stalled and my power braking was lost. I had to steer into the medium curb in order to stop the vehicle. I came very close to hitting the rear of a small car in front of me, and she had a baby in the car. I have replaced the camshaft position sensor and the truck no longer stalls. Another name for the part is a diesel cam sensor. Many people that I know have the same problem with the same truck.

Traveling at normal speed. The engine would shut off, as if it had run out of fuel. . After doing this three times, I replaced the cam shaft sensor. I have had no problem since.

My complaint is about the cps (camshaft position sensor) on the Ford 7. 3l power stroke engines. It seems that most/all vehicles equipped with this sensor have experienced failure, which results in the vehicle stalling. I belong to several forums and nearly everyone has had a problem with that sensor and it is "rule of thumb" to carry one in your glove box for when it goes bad. This has become such a problem that you can now buy the sensors on ebay, people have bought these by the truckload to sell since they know of the problem. Why should we consumers have to worry about such an important component of the engine failing? we spend 20-30-40k dollars on these vehicles and can be left stranded on the side of the road due to this one part failing over and over again. Please, someone do something about this!!!.

Cam shaft position sensor has failed 2 different times on a 2001 powerstroke Ford f250. First time while driving through a parking lot. Second time on the road at highway speeds. Vehicle was difficult to stop and steer due to loss of power steering and power brakes.
