[s-cars] Oh, No...S Car Won't Go

[Calvin & Diana Craig]

I agree, probably is the CPS.  DON'T PAY $400 FOR THIS SENSOR.  I got one
from the parts bin online for $95.

Yup, sounds like the darn CPS, mine did the same thing and I thought I liked

	It might still be the camshaft position sensor.  The faults are
