Riffraff Diesel Cam Position Sensor CPS 1994-2003 7.3L
The Cam Position Sensor (CPS) is one of the most critical sensors on your 7.3L Powerstroke. It provides the PCM with engine crank position and speed information, allowing the injectors to fire at precisely the right time. When the signal becomes weak or erratic, it can lead to poor drivability, intermittent stalling, hard starting, or even a no-start condition.
The original International “Black CPS” earned a loyal following among 7.3L owners for its excellent drivability and throttle response. When it was discontinued, many aftermarket replacements failed to deliver the same consistent performance.
Rather than simply reproducing an outdated design, we partnered with an OEM sensor manufacturer to develop an all-new CPS using modern Hall Effect technology, improved electronics, and tighter manufacturing controls. The result is a sensor engineered to provide exceptional signal stability, outstanding reliability, and the smooth performance 7.3L owners expect.
Every sensor is manufactured in an IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 certified facility, individually tested before packaging, and validated on an actual 7.3L camshaft gear to ensure consistent performance right out of the box.
Whether you’re replacing a failed sensor or upgrading from an inconsistent aftermarket unit, our Upgraded CPS delivers the quality, reliability, and confidence your Powerstroke deserves.

7.3 improved cps
I had an issue with the engine in my truck cutting off intermittently. Able to restart right away. Reading reviews the improved CPS from Riff Raff was the way to go. I installed the CPS and it still intermittently shuts off. So, not sure if the CPS is good or bad, but I have to go another route to determine why.

Cps
So far works just fine. Curred my hard star issues and cleared my "intermittent cps" code.

RDP Cam Sensor 02 7.3 430,000 Miles
I love mine and it was worth paying the extra money for it! My truck hasn't missed a beat since installing this product!

It is amazing truck idles smoother gain three miles to the gallon and the truck runs great
-
Upgraded CPS
Can honestly say I’m shocked at how much better my truck runs after install. I bought 2, put one in my 97 dt466e (uses the same sensor as a 7.3) and it ran noticeably smoother. Put the other one into my 01 7.3 and WOW that truck has never run this smooth at idle. Well worth the price

7.3 cam position sensor
this CPS really smoothed put the idle and seems to run a little more quiet than before.
-
Camshaft sensor
It absolutely improved my throttle response and that makes it worth every penny. Fuel mileage seems to be a little better but I have not calculated it.

It is what they say the product is
Thanks for the product it’s a excellent product
