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Rather than simply reproducing an outdated design, we partnered with an OEM sensor manufacturer to develop an all-new CPS using modern Hall Effect technology, improved electronics, and tighter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

    Truck runs like a whole different vehicle with the new CPS! Put it on my 96 7.3 and my only regret is not doing it 10 years ago!!

    This really is an underrated upgrade, especially for the money. Easy install, truck runs and idles better. Have been waiting on an improved to the CPS since Ford got rid of the quality black one. Good job Riffraff!

    Cam Positioning Sensor

    Posted by Martin Pierce on Jul 6th 2026

    I have a 2000 Ford Power stroke with the original gray sensor never had a problem with the OEM sensor. I wanted to be proactive and upgrade before I had a problem with the original sensor so I ordered The "upgrade" sensor and after installing the sensor I had to pull my stock trailer on two consecutive days it stalled on each day while pulling a grade, on the third day I was pulling my equipment trailer with a second gen dodge and again it shut down intermittently while pulling a slight grade. Needless to say when I got back to the yard I reinstalled the original and haven't had a problem since.
