I put in a new oem ignition switch 3 yrs. ago.  What other ground points are there to check besides that for ignition coils?
Supposedly a bad cps would not effect a running motor ?  It would cause a no start I believe.
She did say it died or stumbled badly coming out of the driveway recently.
Thanks

She, however, did mention that it died pulling out of the driveway last week.   She is sort of afraid to drive it.  No, she is afraid to drive it.  I told her not to be afraid, just hold your breath like the rest of us.
