Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY TOWING A TRAILER AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THE 1999 FORD F350 SD 7.3 DIESEL ENGINE REGAINED POWER AND SURGED FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS TRIP AND SUBSEQUENT DATES. I ATTACHED A OBD2 READER, WHICH GAVE ME THE CODE FOR THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. I REPLACED THE CPS AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE PARTS WORKER HAD THE PART NUMBER MEMORIZED WHEN HE SOLD ME A NEW ONE. I NOW CARRY A SPARE CPS AND A 10 MM WRENCH IN THE VEHICLE IN CASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE OR AN ENGINEERING ISSUE. PLEASE LET FORD KNOW THAT I WILL BY A DODGE OR CHEVY NEXT TIME. *NM
