[s-cars] Check Engine Light / No Start

[Gregory Wolters]

Yea, I was afraid of that.  The sad thing is that I
just had the timing belt thing done that got into lots
of $.  Seems like I replaced everything except the
CPS!  I watched you guys put the GB together, I
thought about it and decided not to worry about it. 
Hindsight is 20/20.

Anyone have a lead on a CPS?  I saw $250 or so at SJM
site, didn't look further.

How do I know its not one of the other 2 sensors,
speed & timing?  They look easier to replace (of
course).  Or are my symptoms pretty typical for CPS
failure?

Thanks again,

Greg
