[s-cars] CPS or no CPS, that is the question.

Hi Bob;

Couple of things come to mind - check the MAF connector and check the chips
in the ECU - they might have come loose with the impact.

Good luck!

Hi again Y'all,

A couple of weeks ago I was forced into the infamous BFPHFH (large
pot hole from heck) and the car suffered a BIG jar at the RF
corner.  A second or so later the engine faltered and then
immediately caught again.  The falter was a complete engine shut-off
not just a missing cylinder.  The falter happened again another 5-6
timr before I made the last two miles home.  The car, at that time,
felt like it did back months earlier when I had a failed CPS (crank
position sensor) so I replaced the CPS and the car ran fine again -
for a while.

So - today - I took the S6 out to pick up some stuff for the better
half.  Engine faltered three times on me.  Just like before I
replaced the CPS.  I'm thinking it wasn't the CPS.  Now what sez
I?  I didn't notice whether the tach responded to the falter or
not.  I wasn't really looking for it and I didn't notice any tach
activity with peripheral vision.

Suggestions?

Bob
