Hey man I love how you get straight to the point and don't take a whole 20 minutes to explain explain something so simple took you no more than 5 minutes great video great channel
Thanks for the video. As another mentioned you get to this from UNDER the truck. I'll tell a funny on myself.... spent a few minutes looking around from the top wondering "geesh... perhaps my inability to even find the sensor should indicate I'm not qualified to change it??". 307,XXX miles on my 99 and I'm hoping for at least another 100k least. Bought this truck from late father in-law years ago and he'd left the spare CPS in the glove box for me. It was a nice reminder of what great man he was!
Great...thanks for video. It helped me once I figured out you were underneath the truck, not coming from the top...ha. Getting it back on was harder than I thought....but I just got it in a little and tightened up the bolt and let the bolt pull it the rest of the way in. Obviously, first time diesel owner, but loving it!
Thanks a ton Makuloco, just had to change out the one on the family F-250, different position, but certainly took your tips on the greases and cleaning out the bore. Glad to have people like you on youtube. Keep it up!
Thanks for uploading the video. I am having shut-off issues on my 1996 7.3 with 307,000 miles about once a week so I bought the cmp sensor last night but I wasn't certain how to replace it until I watched your video.
I recently got my first work truck, 2003 ford f250 with 7.3 diesel, and of course the problems start happening once I buy the truck (how it usually works, don't it?) But you know what? I had the symptoms of needing to replace this part, and I just did it in about 30-40 minutes because of how simple and easy your video made it. We'll see if it ultimately fixes the problem, but either way, your video helped reduce some of the headache I've been having getting this old girl to keep running. That right there, is worth a lot to me. I just subscribed. Keep up the good work man.
Right On Maku, I have a no start issue on my 95 F250 ran fine a couple of days ago then went out to start no joy, checked GP relay, ( had good voltage drop on crank, swapped ICP, scratched my head cursed a bit, Had a drink went to U tube, tomorrow I'm going to Ford to get this sensor and do the swap, hopefully she starts.
With the ‘95 f350 it’s harder to get out u can pop that metal bracket off & take a 7/8 open end wrench & move it around to help Putting it back on u need to use the bolt to push it back in after u put it back in the hole ratchet slowly u will know when u can push it in more with ur hand torque is bout 18 in lbs
Thank you for sharing this video !! What needs to happen for the 7.3 to restart with the bad cps ? Mine restarted but died again a few miles down the road, and a 3rd time about 2 miles later . Does it need to cool down in order to restart or what ??
fordTechMakuloco thanks man. Ive owned a gorgeous 02 7.3 and ive been dealing with this this whole time. Ive done an over head service. Ive taken it to an electric guy but the problem persisted. Now i know what to do.
Ok, after sleeping on it. I went through the passenger tire wheel well to insert the cam censer and hand tighten the screw. from there I had to go from up top both arm down behind fan but was easy to see with new metal plate in place to finish tightening screw and snapping on censer. Thank you tech, Makuloco
My 2002 f250 7.3 powerstroke surged at start up 3 or 4 times before smoothing out.this lasted for 5 day's and then it died on me on the way home from the hospital visiting my father.cranks no start.replaced the icp sensor,no start.replaced the ipr, no start.what symptoms does the cam sensor have.i am runni nvm g out of money,Christmas is next week .I need to see my father.can anyone help..... Thank you if you can help.merry christmas
Cool, thanks gonna go do mine right now. I was debating on doing it or now since it isnt a problem yet. But ima throw a new one in anyway and keep old one as back up.
Hmmm I wonder if it was a mistake to buy this OEM then. After replacing the sensor, I took the truck out for a test drive and I didn’t have any stall out issues anymore . But we’ll see, there were a few times where the idle wanted to drop below 500rpm’s but kept itself running . I still have yet to take it up to highway speeds, I was just cruising around my neighborhood at 30mph. So far, I replaced the MAP sensor and camshaft. It’s been a night and day difference but it’s still not perfect like how I’d like it to be. I bought an OEM IPR sensor last week and I have yet to install it. Hopefully that will help get me that perfect idle and smooth shifting.
I bought a new grey sensor and installed it and my truck wouldn’t run so I put the old one back in so I could drive to the parts store and exchange it. I ran on my old one again for 6 months dealing with it. I finally got tired of it and wasted my time trying to put the next new grey one in. It doesn’t work either so now I’m waiting for a new purple one to get here from Amazon. Hopefully it will work
Awesome video👊I just bought the sensor past weekend to change today having issues getting it to turn over with new batteries, RPMs jump 400-500k when truck will not crank but when crank it does it move RPMs until fire up after glow plugs warm up, hope this sensor helps my issue! only when cold past few months has issued been but also has 420,000 miles four-wheel drive XLT supercab Merry Christmas!
Is it ok to use aftermarket sensors on a 5.4L F150? I did and still have problems. Today I'm removing my valve covers to inspect my phasers and VCTS. Thanks 🇨🇦
i have a late 99 7.3 one thing that i have be dealing with hasnt been stalling, starts right up runs fine cold, but once it starts to get warmed up it tends to start to run rough. no check engine light. the rough running kind of shakes a bit almost like it has a miss, but it doesnt sound like its missing out, also i can shut it down and fire back up and it will run fine again, along with i can come up to a stop light sometimes it idles fine sometimes it will start to have the shake right away, and other times it will run smooth for about 10 to 20 seconds and start to slightly shake and continue to get worse. the rpms dont drop below roughly 700 though and the tach doesnt jump much as if its struggling, and power is still right there once you hit the petal. Although at the same time, i have the marbles in a tin can sound from the TC some things i have noticed with that is, when the truck is cold hasnt been drove yet. put it in gear goes in drive easy, truck is quite TC is quite no rattle. smooth as can be almost like a new truck. as everything warms up more. it the marbles in a tin can comes and goes most of the time it sticks for a while. it had a small hiccup one day, where it took a bit of time to shift from 2nd to 3rd. another was it didnt want to go to reverse one time. i had to get the rpms up to go in reverse and stay in reverse. TC locks up just fine i have verified that. fluid is clean, and up on its full hot mark. sometimes when driving it shits smooth sometimes it kind of kicks a bit through 2 to 3rd and then 3rd to 4th it can be a little rough, sometimes smooth, sometimes it feels like the TC locks up right as it shifts into 4th or delayed kind of odd. no OD code no trans slip. and recently as of yesterday, when you put it in reverse the tin can rattle goes away and the engine gets a nice smooth deep tone tone too it. sorry its a long post. but im just kind of at a bit of a loss, no codes to go off of, and several odd things going on at once, and im not sure if the TC could be somewhat causing my weird rough idle feel but no change in engine tone. and no power loss or trans slipping, engine has 168k on it, trans is unknown as i bought the truck used. with 168k i would assume that either the trans has been flushed with as clean as the fluid is. but maybe the filter wasnt changed since the pan does have a drain plug i wonder if someone just drained i and filled with fresh fluid. so could that cause some of the issue? again sorry in advance. hopefully you might have heard of some of what i have described and help point me in the right direction.
Have you changed the cam sensor already these can cause all kinds of issues and the new ones are quite cheap. As for the trans issue these are known for a few issue namely the baro reading being off causing all kinds of weird shift problems. Also this trans is known for torque converter issues causing low line pressure and uncommanded TCC engagement. Without a line pressure test and a scan tool to check pids we are just guessing. A few checks is the next logical step here.
FordTechMakuloco no i haven't changed the cam sensor yet. I have heard that they a lot of weird things can happen from one that is failing so i was not sure if i should change it and see what happens. As for the trans, ya ive heard a lot about the 4r100. Most of what i have heard though was mostly related to the early 99s having bad TCs. I am pretty familiar with most older fords all the way up to 03 7.3s and of course who doesnt know about all the 6.0 issues?haha. but when it comes to transmissions thats just a whole new beast to me. I can do basics when it comes to that, and i do have scan tool experience. but the best thing to do would get my hands on a good scan tool and see whats going on in live time? Along with probably change the cam sensor? If so I know i should probably get that directly from ford, and be sure that it is the White updated sensor? Sorry about the first message being all rambled together, it was kind of late when i was posting that.
Yeah the best thing to do is when it is happening is to watch the live data for TCC Slip DSD and Slip Actual that will tell all right there is the slip actual goes into the negatives. I would change the cam sensor if it has the old black one on there yes to the new Gray ones.
Thank you, that will get me heading in the right direction. im pretty sure the issue is related to the torque converter, since when it shifts it doesnt slip. of course i dont have the proof till im able to check out everything with a scan tool. something else i noticed was at about 40 mph when it shifts the rpms are about 2k and then sometimes once it shifts they will glide down smooth and sometimes the rpms just drop off and other times the rpms will go down back up rapidly and drop again as if there is something that slipped. could that be a sign that the torque converter slips when it locks up or still something could be off with the shift points? and ill double check on the cam sensor. If i change it out and it doesnt change its idle then what else could cause it to do it. sign that somethings up with the ICP or IPR, maybe the IDM? Or both the trans problem could be related to my idle issue or vise versa?
Hello, I’ve seen many of your videos! Enjoy them! Makes everything easy!! Can I get some help? My coworker changed his glow plugs on a 2000 7.3 an after he changed them all he buttoned it back together and has no power! It fires up but he’s getting no boost on his gauge, has a rough idle. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!
My F350 rpms are sometimes jumping up and down over and over. No check engine light. Transmission OD light comes on. Had trans just rebuilt too. Someone mentioned cam position sensor. I don't think it's giving any codes though other than the OD light.
These engines are tanks and worth the effort of upkeep!!!!! Got two of them his and hers and my son drives the 7.3 idi can't match these engines for reliability.
@@lincoln2v643 Agreed... The 12v Cummins is equal too or better than a 7.3L...you can't go wrong with either engine platform. It really bowls back to the I6 vs V8 debates lol... Both have pros and cons.
Mine will run then idle down and go back up then down and back up over and over and now it'll start then die. Would that be a cam shaft sensor or the ipr?
My 2000 7.3 ford wont start .. wgen i turn the key it makes a click sound by the right fender where the relay for the starter is.. it used to click but it would turn over n i didnt hear start we checked it its good but ever sence i replaced the starter relay it doesnt click no more it doesnt do nothing at all now
Have a 97 psd throwing p0025 and it don't stall but runs ruff and took to a shop they say injectors 5-6-7-8 are bad but said they don't know what p0025 is never heard of that code. Looking for some help as this is my daily driver
I'm sorry between this video and the ford dealer telling me it was easy, is a bunch of shit! Mine is not on top were it is visible. I'm on my back with my arm cocked with no visibility and trying to feel my way around this. I'm too deep with old one off and new one with metal peace not fitting to plastic. 51 female not happy.
Yep i hear you, in fact my shoulder still hurts from this cps job 3 months ago. Never again; next time i will remove the radiator and save my poor shoulder.
You may want to apply the dielectric grease to the female side of the plug connectors. I have found in my work that the grease can actually cause a short between the terminals. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
Great DIY vid FordTechMalkuco! So I have a '97 obs with 180k miles no issues of what you mentioned. Is this something, I should replace now, like did you have to have the engine oil drained. Thanks
I just want to ask you. does the engine have to be in the rite time. I turned pully when I changed injectors there in a line on it should I line those up
Thanks so much I didn’t thinks so but Ive rebuilt everything on my 7.3 I love it man. You help me on my trans switch. Out of a lot of video man you simply things for us for free. My name is Brandon sir. Thanks for helping me sir. Also thanks for being serious about all your video.
i have a 97 f350 7.3 will be driving will stop at a red light or a stop sign and truck will just turn off starts right back up like nothing happen you think thats whats wrong with it ?
is the recall still open from 2007 granted these things are 30$ but im cheap so. anyway mines been going out ever so slowly. would ford still pay to get it fixed?
I'm guessing you did this project on a hoist? I've been laying on the ground (luckily in my back yard!) and this is a NIGHTMARE. I even somehow lost the bolt that holds this thing in (it dropped out of the non-magnetized socket and fell - who knows where . . I even got out my yard magnet - no joy. I ran my fingers all around and In the framework, and used a flexible magnet - no joy. So, off the Ford dealer to get another bolt - to the tune of $4! Ripoff, but no choice. This time I tied a piece of thread to the head of the bolt so every time it falls down I can find it. Next time I will gladly pay someone with a lift whatever they want to swap this sensor out.
"Quick" certainly doesn't describe MY experience with this. Your selection of music at the beginning of the vid should have tipped me off to the "impending doom" that was going to be this 'simple, quick' swap-out. Ha . . . Not a lot of room to get my hand in and out of the space. NO room for two hands, which would have made this much easier. But the video DID make it easier to tackle because I know what to look for and which tools to grab. Thank you!
Here's s shot of what I had to find ways to weasel my hand up through to get to the Cam Sensor unit. It looks different than the view from YOUR project. I think the extra hoses might be from my second tranny cooler. i28.photobucket.com/albums/c246/KaptanTommy325/Cam002.jpg?t=1465055981
+FordTechMakuloco man i have a 2000 f250 with the 7.3 it was my brothers truck he past away a year ago i bought the truck from my dad and i was driving the truck one nite and then the they after i wanna to start the truck but it wont start i try the starting fluid it cranks but wont star i put more diesel on the tank and it crank 4 times after that the truck wont crank batteries are good but wont start u think this will be the problem the cam sensor?? Thanks man
felicidades techmakuloco, excelentes videos me han servido mucho a la hora de echarle mano a mi f-150, no se tu idioma pero me guio mas o menos de lo que se trata, seria excelente si tus videos los doblaras o los editaras en español. nos seria de gran utilidad, dado que no tenemos videos en español.
had put in a NAPA CPS sensor 3 or 4 years ago but saved the original when it didn't fix the problem. Last week it started to randomly stall at idle so i reinstalled the OEM part. problem solved. My diesel guy told me NEVER put aftermarket sensors in this engine. Spend the extra money and buy from the dealer.

Thanks for the video. As another mentioned you get to this from UNDER the truck. I'll tell a funny on myself.... spent a few minutes looking around from the top wondering "geesh... perhaps my inability to even find the sensor should indicate I'm not qualified to change it??". 307,XXX miles on my 99 and I'm hoping for at least another 100k least. Bought this truck from late father in-law years ago and he'd left the spare CPS in the glove box for me. It was a nice reminder of what great man he was!
Thank you for the video. You helped me do this on my own. My mechanic wanted to charge me way more doing other stuff to fix this issue. You rock
My truck has been dead for 4 months.... $30 & 15 minutes later it's running well.
Great...thanks for video. It helped me once I figured out you were underneath the truck, not coming from the top...ha.

Good diagnostic makuloco Good mechanic
Thanks for uploading the video. I am having shut-off issues on my 1996 7.3 with 307,000 miles about once a week so I bought the cmp sensor last night but I wasn't certain how to replace it until I watched your video.
Does anyone bother to buy a Chilton's service manual that is an inch and a half thick chocked full of information and read it?

Simple and straight to the point. Good video.
10 yes later its still helping. Thanks for the video
Right On Maku, I have a no start issue on my 95 F250 ran fine a couple of days ago then went out to start no joy, checked GP relay, ( had good voltage drop on crank, swapped ICP, scratched my head cursed a bit, Had a drink went to U tube, tomorrow I'm going to Ford to get this sensor and do the swap, hopefully she starts.
Did it work
With the ‘95 f350 it’s harder to get out u can pop that metal bracket off & take a 7/8 open end wrench & move it around to help
Putting it back on u need to use the bolt to push it back in after u put it back in the hole ratchet slowly u will know when u can push it in more with ur hand torque is bout 18 in lbs

What was the verdict. Sounds like my 03' 7.3L is doing the same thing. Did just the cam sensor change fix the issue?
How do you get to this spot on the engine
Hello, I’ve seen many of your videos! Enjoy them! Makes everything easy!! Can I get some help?

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!
@fordtechmakuloco was curious of the dark blue ones. Do you have any input on those versus the grey ones for 99-03.
My F350 rpms are sometimes jumping up and down over and over. No check engine light. Transmission OD light comes on. Had trans just rebuilt too. Someone mentioned cam position sensor. I don't think it's giving any codes though other than the OD light.
+Jon Watcher OD light means there are trans codes read get them read and take it back to the person who rebuilt it.
Do I need to disconnect the neg. battery terminal before replacing the PCS?
No but it is a good idea from a safety standpoint.
You don’t have to let it run you can turn it over if the tach moves then the new cps is working. If the twch don’t move then the cps is not working
I was going to make my own video of me having to do this but this is better so I’m just adding it to my truck playlist
These engines are tanks and worth the effort of upkeep!!!!! Got two of them his and hers and my son drives the 7.3 idi can't match these engines for reliability.
Yes you can its called a 12v cummins.
@@lincoln2v643 Agreed... The 12v Cummins is equal too or better than a 7.3L...you can't go wrong with either engine platform. It really bowls back to the I6 vs V8 debates lol... Both have pros and cons.

I took mine to ford for the recall and they put a black one in there.... A gray one was in there but it had a recall apparantly
How does it lose power or shut down mine will lose power now it sounds like the more comes apart and no power to tran
Can a cps sensor go bad and not set a code but tachometer still move ? 2000 ford f250 7.3
I just changed it out on mine. It will not start. I can a spray but the rpm gauge isn't working.
thanks a lot for the info, just put mine on today
Changed out this sensor and overdrive light is still blinking ... not working. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a 2000 f350 wen I start my truck start normal but after some minutes dies do you think that I need to replace the CPS?
Tks
Hello, i have a 95 f350 7.3 Powerstroke, wich sensor is better, the gray one ir the dark blue?
what year is that because i have a 1995 f350 7.3 turbo and looks nothing like yours and i cant even find mine with 6 pullys in the way ..
Hayseed1776 I am going to have to say it was 99 or newer
I'm sorry between this video and the ford dealer telling me it was easy, is a bunch of shit!
Mine is not on top were it is visible. I'm on my back with my arm cocked with no visibility and trying to feel my way around this. I'm too deep with old one off and new one with metal peace not fitting to plastic. 51 female not happy.
+Allison Wheatley very easy yes lining up the bolt after is the worst part.
Yep i hear you, in fact my shoulder still hurts from this cps job 3 months ago. Never again; next time i will remove the radiator and save my poor shoulder.
Driving those trucks low on diesel is asking for trouble.
You may want to apply the dielectric grease to the female side of the plug connectors. I have found in my work that the grease can actually cause a short between the terminals. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
Can this cause stalling when it’s in park also hard to start in the cold ?
7.3 7.3 ever find this out? Having the same issues. Hate throwing parts at its
alec chamberlain ya the stalling in park was a bad icp and the cold starting problem was a bad gpr
Thanks for helpful the info. Do you ever have time to work on your own vehicle? Me neither.
Ain't that the truth!
Recall? Is this still a valid recall?
Great DIY vid FordTechMalkuco! So I have a '97 obs with 180k miles no issues of what you mentioned. Is this something, I should replace now, like did you have to have the engine oil drained. Thanks
Dirk Diggler No oil draining required. This one is supposed to have improved reliability compared to the old ones yes.
@@FordTechMakuloco How did you get the new one in???? I cant make it slide in!!!
Perfect, thank you!
I have A 7.3 in my excursion It lobes like it has a large Cam in it tell it gets hot?
I have the same thing happening in my 97 250. Did you ever figure it out?
Great Video - Thanks
i have an issue now that when cold runs fine but after warm up starts idling rough. Could the cps be attributed to that?
Me to. Did you ever figure it out?
I just want to ask you. does the engine have to be in the rite time. I turned pully when I changed injectors there in a line on it should I line those up
No need to line up timing marks or anything like that.
Thanks so much I didn’t thinks so but Ive rebuilt everything on my 7.3 I love it man. You help me on my trans switch. Out of a lot of video man you simply things for us for free. My name is Brandon sir. Thanks for helping me sir. Also thanks for being serious about all your video.
What can you do if the screw for the camshaft sensor gets broken how can you take the other half out?
Either an "easy out bit" or drill and tap it.
Great video sir.
Comes in handy rn.. thx life saver
i have a 97 f350 7.3 will be driving will stop at a red light or a stop sign and truck will just turn off starts right back up like nothing happen you think thats whats wrong with it ?
Did u ever figure it out
Did you ever figure it out what was the problem
is the recall still open from 2007 granted these things are 30$ but im cheap so. anyway mines been going out ever so slowly. would ford still pay to get it fixed?
+Gabe Wilhide I am quite sure it is expired
Is this from the bottom of the enginem
I'm guessing you did this project on a hoist? I've been laying on the ground (luckily in my back yard!) and this is a NIGHTMARE. I even somehow lost the bolt that holds this thing in (it dropped out of the non-magnetized socket and fell - who knows where . . I even got out my yard magnet - no joy. I ran my fingers all around and In the framework, and used a flexible magnet - no joy. So, off the Ford dealer to get another bolt - to the tune of $4! Ripoff, but no choice. This time I tied a piece of thread to the head of the bolt so every time it falls down I can find it. Next time I will gladly pay someone with a lift whatever they want to swap this sensor out.
No this one was done on the ground it would take longer to rack the vehicle then to just lay on the ground and swap it out quick.
"Quick" certainly doesn't describe MY experience with this. Your selection of music at the beginning of the vid should have tipped me off to the "impending doom" that was going to be this 'simple, quick' swap-out. Ha . . . Not a lot of room to get my hand in and out of the space. NO room for two hands, which would have made this much easier. But the video DID make it easier to tackle because I know what to look for and which tools to grab. Thank you!
Here's s shot of what I had to find ways to weasel my hand up through to get to the Cam Sensor unit. It looks different than the view from YOUR project. I think the extra hoses might be from my second tranny cooler.

You forgot to mention this is looking up from the bottom😁
I wondered the same.. a comment above says it was looking up. great video though. Trying to find it on a 1996 F350 - 7.3 and i must be blind.
Look for the wires
Thank you so much 😂
what if the cps wire is damaged?
+Angel Gutierrez There are pigtails available from Ford in most cases.
+FordTechMakuloco man i have a 2000 f250 with the 7.3 it was my brothers truck he past away a year ago i bought the truck from my dad and i was driving the truck one nite and then the they after i wanna to start the truck but it wont start i try the starting fluid it cranks but wont star i put more diesel on the tank and it crank 4 times after that the truck wont crank batteries are good but wont start u think this will be the problem the cam sensor?? Thanks man
Excellent video..
Thanks great job preciate it
thanks for the info. !
felicidades techmakuloco, excelentes videos me han servido mucho a la hora de echarle mano a mi f-150, no se tu idioma pero me guio mas o menos de lo que se trata, seria excelente si tus videos los doblaras o los editaras en español. nos seria de gran utilidad, dado que no tenemos videos en español.
had put in a NAPA CPS sensor 3 or 4 years ago but saved the original when it didn't fix the problem.
Last week it started to randomly stall at idle so i reinstalled the OEM part. problem solved.
My diesel guy told me NEVER put aftermarket sensors in this engine. Spend the extra money and buy from the dealer.
Great video.
+Barrylickin Thanks!!
Maybe you want to tell us what you had for lunch also
Ham sandwich.
This thing is so stubborn on my old truck
how to chang cam sensor?
This is a good video but does nothing to help locate it
I'm smart enough to have a 2005 with a 6.0, so i don't have to deal with that shit lol
LOL, a 6.0 owner laughing at a 7.3 for engine maintenance, now I've heard it all.
How's that 6.0 treating you?
