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Rather than simply reproducing an outdated design, we partnered with an OEM sensor manufacturer to develop an all-new CPS using modern Hall Effect technology, improved electronics, and tighter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


Why Choose the Riffraff Diesel Upgraded CPS?

  • Designed specifically for 1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke engines
  • Modern Hall Effect sensor technology with improved signal stability
  • Individually tested before packaging
  • Validated on an actual 7.3L camshaft gear
  • Manufactured in an IATF 16949 & ISO 14001 certified facility
  • Improved tolerance to increased sensor air gaps
  • Designed for excellent drivability, reliability, and long service life

Common Symptoms of a Failing CPS

A failing Cam Position Sensor may contribute to:

  • Intermittent engine stalling
  • Hard starting or no-start conditions
  • Rough idle or inconsistent throttle response
  • Sudden engine shutdown while driving
  • Camshaft position sensor diagnostic trouble codes

    Heard the CPS and pigtail from RiffRaff was the only way to go on this. Been nothing but solid for me on parts I’ve ordered in past.

    Amazing product

    This cam sensor smoothed out and woke up my 02 super duty. Better mpg, better throttle response, and runs soo much better. I highly recommend this part.

    This CPS upgrade made my 2001 7.3 idle so much smoother and quieter I was shocked. What a great upgrade from the old gray parts store one I had.

    This sensor installed as easily as the oem and performed slightly better than the oem. Smooth from idle to high revs.

    Upgraded CPS

    Posted by Terry Hutcherson on Feb 25th 2026

    I bought this and some other items, It's a tight fit but once installed I could tell a difference, I add a gold spring to the fuel regulator and now I have a different running truck for me it was money well spent.
