THE SPARK PLUG LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE RIGHT CYLINDER BANK OF A 6.8 LITER GASOLINE ENGINE WAS EJECTED. THE SPARK PLUGS IN THIS ENGINE HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED TO MY KNOWLEDGE SO THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF IMPROPER TORQUING PROCEDURES. THE ENGINE HAD BEEN OPERATING PROPERLY AND VERY SELDOM HAS GONE OVER 70 MPH. ACCELERATION AT THE TIME OF FAILURE WAS LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWING. NO FIRE ENSUED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A FAINT GASOLINE ODOR UNDER THE HOOD RIGHT AFTER I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. THE FAILURE WAS OBVIOUS BECAUSE THE SPARK PLUG AND ATTACHED COIL PACK WAS LYING ON TOP OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THESE ENGINES. *TR

I'VE HAD TWO SEPARATE CPS FAILURES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER DUTY WITH THE 7.3 DIESEL. BOTH TIMES IT MANIFESTED ITSELF AS THE MOTOR DYING WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WHERE NO INJURIES WITH EITHER INCIDENT BUT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY HAD I BEEN PULLING MY TRAILER. BOTH TIMES REPLACING THE (OVER PRICED) CPS WAS THE SOLUTION. THE OLD PARTS WERE DISCARDED.*JB

AFTER ABOUT FOUR YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE A PROBLEM STARTED AND NOW STILL HAVING NUMEROUS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(CPS) FAILURE IN THE 2000 F350 7.3 SD PICKUP TRUCK CPS SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP AND LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AS EXTRA COSTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.THE ORIGINAL CPS PART NUMBERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND AN ALTERNATE PART IS A REPLACEMENT TODAY. A YEAR AFTER THE LAST REPAIR OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THE COMPUTER CODE FINALLY RECOGNIZED THE DEFAULT WITH A CODE P0340. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE SENSOR ERROR WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE CHECK ENGINE CODE SYSTEM AND IT IS THE SECOND TIME THE CPS WILL BE REPLACED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,500 IN REPAIRS TO FIND A FIX. I HOPE THE NEW PART BE THE FINAL FIX. *TR
