[s-cars] Intermittent no start

[Theodore Chen]

there was some discussion about the CPS recently, and somebody suggested
that it should be changed when doing a timing belt.  but there was
also some gnashing of teeth about the cost of the CPS.

there were various posts about alternatives but i'm not sure if a
clear consensus emerged.  what's the list wisdom on the CPS to use?
