1. Make sure you have the correct part. This depends on the serial
number of your engine which should be located on a sticker below the
front of the plastic cover for the fuel bowl. Neither Ford or International
calls it a "CPS", Ford calls it a CMP sensor and
International calls it a CAMP sensor.

2. Remove the #9 fuse under the
hood (not in the dash).
3. You may want to remove the belt
for easier access, but it's not necessary.
4. Disconnect the CMP sensor
electrical connector. The
sensor is located towards the bottom left on the front of the
engine. You'll see the
single wire bundle going to the sensor.
5. Remove the old CMP sensor using
a 10mm socket. Be careful
not to round off the bolt (there is only 1). It's on there real tight and is
tough to get to.
6. Take the new CMP sensor and coat
the seal with either motor oil or Vaseline and intall it. Install the bolt and reconnect
the wire connector.
7. Reinstall the #9 fuse under the
hood and you should be ready to go.
