[s-cars] S6 no start fun

[chris chambers]

Steve,

Mine started acting up by occasionally not starting when it was hot, then it failed.

When mine failed it didn't blink any codes, and I was lucky it failed in my driveway and the Audi
cable (for blinking codes) in my glovebox. 

Also when I went to replace mine tha connector on the CPS crumbled to pieces when I disconnected it from the car.
I have read about atleast two more instances of the crumbling connector so I wouldn't be surprised if you find your
connector is damaged.

If it was my car I would replace the CPS sensor

Chris
