[s-cars] Intermittent no start

[Tony Curran]

Hi Dave, all,

First, I was able to remove my CPS without removing front of car as I've
done the Monster Air Intake mod that removes the stock air intake snorkel -
a 24mm socket fits right in the space left behind once the cam belt cover is
removed.

The original Bosch Hall sender device (HKZ101) is now out of manufacture. I
had started to investigate an alterate part (part no. 2AV54) but have not
progressed. But I did find the HKZ101 is used in Volvo distributors of the
mid-80s (probably Audis too). I actuall bought a 1988 Bosch Volvo
distributor from a Euro car wrecker in Ottawa for c$50, then transplanted
the Hall sender to the S-car CPS mount plate and spliced wiring. Has worked
floorlessly for about 10 months now.

A quick look at Ebay shows this Audi distributor very much like the Volvo
one I took apart...

The three snipped wires hanging at bottom of pic are the wires for the hall
sender.

Good luck,

Tom and Ron:  I recently helped a young S-car owner who lives north of
Toronto (Jonathan S) who had the same problem.  I pointed him to Scott
Mockry's website (www.sjmautotechik.com) and the diagnoses section to
get him to pull the codes. He pulled the classic 2113 CPS code and was
able to get a new CPS wholesale through a friend.  He has some skills
and was able to change the CPS without replacing the timing belt.  I got
Jonathan to do a write-up.  You can find this at:

I personally suggest that the CPS will fail anytime after about 160,000
km (100,000 miles) and on that basis it should be changed at or before
the second timing belt change (assuming an 80,000 km change interval).
However, if Jonathan can make the change without the timing belt coming
off, that suggestion may change.

What we need is an answer to Teddy's question.  Tony Curran - what have
you found out? Any updates?

Dave F.
