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Rather than simply reproducing an outdated design, we partnered with an OEM sensor manufacturer to develop an all-new CPS using modern Hall Effect technology, improved electronics, and tighter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.

Common Symptoms of a Failing CPS

  • Sudden engine shutdown while driving
  • Camshaft position sensor diagnostic trouble codes

    Game changer

    Posted by Cameron H. on Apr 2nd 2026

    This CPS is what we have needed for our 7.3 trucks for 10 years. Noticed the quicker start right away, and I could swear it idles smoother and quieter.

    Riffraff Upgraded CPS Sensor

    Posted by Ryan on Mar 18th 2026

    I was lucky enough to get one of the first CPS sensor back in late 2025. I was impressed from the beginning by how smooth it made the truck, but figured it was just luck. Flash forward 4 months later, installed one in my dads 2002, and have the exact same results, everything is better and smoother. Using Forscan all of the contribution numbers are less than half of what they were before. I cant recommend this CPS sensor enough, it is a real game changer, and I have now experienced it twice on two different trucks. Thanks Riffraff for your hard work on this.

    7.3 cps

    Posted by Jacob on Mar 18th 2026

    After getting left on the side of the road in my old 02 SD I decided to replace all the possible problem areas in the truck I had used a parts store cps initially to get off the road I was shocked after installing the riffraff cps that the truck actually idled better I didn’t want to believe any of the hype but sure enough the truck runs a little nicer I ended up buying a second one just to keep in the glove box while pricey Its already better than the parts store knock off atleast the plug is in the correct orientation on this one so it doesn’t put strain on the harness
