Riffraff Diesel Cam Position Sensor CPS 1994-2003 7.3L
Remember the original International "Black CPS" that originally came with the Powerstroke? Your engine idled smoother, had better cylinder contribution, and overall better drivability but unfortunately it was discontinued almost 20 years ago. The industry has been forced to make due with the updated "Grey CPS" and sacrifice those original attributes until now...
We have developed a brand new CPS that has all the original qualities, with the addition of 20 year newer chip and sensor technology! With this new technology and manufacturing knowledge we have been able to accurately increase the signal strength and clarity at more than double the air gap and rpm the original "Black CPS" was able to sense with no degradation of signal. This allows for more realized benefits and reliability than even the original "Black CPS was able to provide.
- ISO 14001 and IATF 16949 production facility
- Every sensor is function tested on an actual 7.3L Cam gear for 100% accuracy
- Assembly process is re-validated biannually on all sub-components

Best CPS
I was doubtful that after all these years that a better sensor could be made, but I was wrong. My truck starts faster, smoother idles, and I would swear better throttle response. Very happy with this sensor and I will be getting another just to keep in case.

I think the truck starts better
Easy to install

My new favorite CPS.
I’ve tried all the common camshaft position sensor (CPS) options for my 7.3L Powerstroke. That includes both of Ford’s versions (light gray and blue with purple O-ring), and I was even considering hunting down an International one when I discovered Riff Raff’s CPS.
My engine ran decently before, but it always had a slight shimmy at idle.
• The light gray Ford CPS had the most noticeable shimmy but gave the best fuel mileage.
• The blue Ford CPS (with purple O-ring) reduced the shimmy a bit, but fuel economy dropped and it produced more smoke.
After running Riff Raff’s CPS for a while now, the idle shimmy is almost completely gone, and smoke during acceleration has cleared up as much as possible on this engine. I haven’t done long-term fuel mileage testing yet, but with the smoother idle and reduced smoke, I’m confident it’ll be significantly better than the others.
Installation note: This CPS has much tighter tolerances than the OEM versions. Definitely grease the O-ring well before installing—it still took me longer than expected to seat it properly, even with grease. That said, there’s no doubt this one seals perfectly and won’t leak.
Highly recommended if you’re chasing a smooth-running 7.3! -
Cam Position Sensor
Very impressed with the quick starts and smooth idle, I had been dealing with an inconsistent idle despite changing the usual suspects - ICP, IPR, EBP Sensor & tube, and even a new factory CPS. Still wasn't perfect after all that. But this updated CPS finally fixed this. My van starts, idles, and runs perfectly. It's really amazing and so much fun to drive now.

Upgraded cps
Another Awesome part from riffraff. Truck runs much smoother, peppier on take off too.
I’m going to get my pops one too! -
Cam position sensor
Good product made a difference in the idle and running of the engine

CPS
Worked like a charm. Solved my issues.

Best Cam sensor out there
I’ve used blue, gray, and black motorcraft sensors and I figured why not get this and put it in my 7.3 service truck, and it preforms well not failed contribution on any cylinders and seems to idle smoother ( could just be placebo effect) it just runs over all better then when I had the black sensor in.

Finally! A fix for intermittent dieing!!
After 7 years, original sensor replaced because of dieing at idle, no starts, hiccups while driving. Grey sensor lasted about 10 years, but same issues.
Engine runs much better now. Idles smooth. Starts quickly. Thank you Riffraff Diesel!
