02 7.3 powerstroke 60,000 miles. Stalls some times everyday, but hit the key and it will fire right back up and run for hours. Maybe a cps, does that stand for crank position senser or cam position senser? Thanks guys.

CPS stands for cam position sensor.... sometimes you will also see the acronym "cmp". But with what you are giving for details, I would first say that it is the CPS.

Other things to diagnose, how many miles on oil/filter change, when was last fuel filter change.

I just changed the oil 2000 miles ago along with the fuel filter. 3 days ago I drained the water seperator. I will change the cps next. Will post if that fixed it. Thanks Mark

CPS would be my guess but I did just read a post about a guy that had a die and start right back up randomly problem his turned out to be the EBPS so if you want to try that first I beleive you can just unplug it and drive around for a while you'll have a cel but thats all and its free

EBPS is exhaust back pressure sensor, I have never seen the EBP cause a truck to die. It will close the exhaust back pressure valve at improper times.

Yep been following that guys problems too...weird that it turned out to be that, but its something to keep in the back of your head if it turns out not to be the CPS...

Good Luck,
Casey
