[s-cars] CPS - what's the $$$ damage?

[Mike Claire]

How do I check the wiring?  The car's running great,
other than the fact that the ECU thinks there's a
problem with the CPS.  

I noticed yesterday the ECU must be in some kind of
limp mode because I couldn't get more than about 5 psi
boost.  But the car runs great otherwise...

Two nights ago when I very first saw the CEL, I shut
the car off for a second at a stop sign to see if I
could "reset" the computer and make the light go off. 
The car cranked but wouldn't start.  I waited a few
minutes, already figuring it was a CPS problem.  I
hoped once it cooled down a little it might start.  It
did start - just a couple minutes after.  Not enough
to cool anything down.

So the computer definately thinks there's a problem,
but the car is running fine otherwise.
