Hi Tim,

CPS first then TPS (fuel pedal). The new style CPS has gold colored contacts. The trouble ones had silver colored contacts.

2001 up don't see RPM's on the Tach upon cranking.

Any puter driven engine needs reset before diagnosing by disconnecting the battery(s). This clears all codes and resets the PCM to the OEM defaults. If there's truly a problem, new codes will be quickly set and the problem will continue. Reset the puter after the repairs.

I reset my 7.3 once every month. This gets me the best drivibility and keeps fuel mileage at maximum. My 27k mile life time fuel mileage is 15.5mpg with pulling 16kGCW to 31kGCW for 9k miles. Empty is 19mpg consistantly. It's just like windows, the puter will crash often. Ford must have used MS engineers... LMAO

7.3 OBDII codes can be read by a Ford OEM program, about #350 for the PC reader type. This the cheapest I know of for Ford code readers. The cheapies don't have the extra OEM OBDII codes. There's a couple online sources.

I assume you have changed the fuel filter and checked for water?

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
