Hi Gus,

John M gave a accurate discription of what a CPS does on a PSD. In late 2001 Ford changed the CPS to gold contacts and that has seamed to help keep the CPS going as failure reports dropped. You didn't get raped to bad on price. Anywhere from $89 to $125 is pretty common at on-line Ford Dealers. International dealers also carry them.

Slow cranking speed can also cause a PSD not to start. A PSD has to crank more than 200rpm to start so keep your battery's fresh in cold climantes. 3 to 5yrs seam to be a common time on the Ford MC battery's in cold country. Me, I'm replacing mine with Optima blue tops when the time comes.

If you live in a cold climnate then fuel suppliers change the diesel to a cold weather mix to keep the fuel from gelling.

Here in S. AZ we don't get cold enough for the fuel suppliers to use winter diesel and I have add my own gel protection. I use Power Service (white bottle) when I'm planning on heading to the cold country and it's going to be less than 0�, well I really use 20� as the add point.

Un-Gelling diesel takes about 12hrs of heat, some times less with using Power Service 911.
