Keep your legendary 7.3L Powerstroke running the way Ford intended with the Genuine Motorcraft F4TZ-12K073-C Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP). Commonly referred to as the CPS (Cam Position Sensor), this OEM replacement provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with the precise camshaft position signal required for proper fuel injection timing and engine synchronization. A failing CPS is one of the most common causes of intermittent drivability issues on the 7.3L Powerstroke, making an OEM replacement the preferred choice for reliability.
Whether you're experiencing random stalling, hard starts, a crank-no-start condition, hesitation, or an intermittent loss of tachometer signal, replacing the camshaft position sensor with a genuine Motorcraft unit can restore dependable performance. The F4TZ-12K073-C is the latest Ford supersession of the original 7.3L CPS design and remains the sensor trusted by diesel technicians and Powerstroke enthusiasts alike. Many experienced 7.3L owners even recommend keeping a spare in the glove box due to its importance and quick roadside replacement.
