[s-cars] Occasional hot no start - '95 S6 avant

[chris chambers]

Jim,

sounds exactly like what happened to me when my CPS was failing, and
then finally did fail.

The CPS isn't that hard to replace, probably a 1 hour job.
You can save considerable money by purchasing the hong kong hall 
sensor and reusing the bracket/plug from the one on your car.

That is what I did and it worked marvelous!
