Sounds like the intermittent problem he had with the cam position sensor.
Done it and the pigtail at the same time. No lights were present. Luckily it was cheap.

Yea every thing ive seen says cps or a short somewhere

I'd say it's in the pigtail, i still think that's where his problem was too. He went ahead and changed the sensor since it was like $16 at rockauto.

How much of a PITA is it to get to the cam position sensor?

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.

Ford Part #'s: Before engine serial #375549 F6T012K073A

Serial #375549 and above F7T012K073A

International Part #'s: Before engine serial #375549 1821720C98

Serial #375549 and above 1825899C93

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.

Thats my problem and dont look like theres much room, prob be a little while before it gets replaced though

A 10mm socket, a swivel and a few various extentions will get it done easy with the belt off.
