Had my schedule B done and it turns out my CPS is going out. Has anyone replaced their own and if so any suggestions, or diy pics??

thanks,

Since I'm having a major brain-fart/pre-mature senior moment and can't even recall what CPS would be, I am guess I've never done a DIY of it, them, etc.

CPS?

I"m just getting too old.

I guess technically there's 2 definitions of CPS, camshaft position sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. I need help with the 1st one.

Yep - cam position sensor (CPS).

Here's a link that provides some excellent information regarding where you can get the replacement at a decent price. Some very good investigational work by some of our members!

Thanks for the help, very informative, do you know or have any pics to go along with the DIY??

What are the symptoms of the CPS going out? First I've heard of this going out on our cars.

so you mean CRANK position sensor? if it is, you can DIY not too hard...... but you do need some experience with tools and car repairs in my opinion.

Engine shots down while driving, will crank but will not start until cools down.
If this happens on the road quick fix for 10 minutes driving time:
pour water between engine and firewall on the driver side.
cools down CPS and allows it operate until temp rises again.

It works I have done it.

First sign of CPS:
engine will crank but will not fire after short stop. Restarts after aprox 20 minutes, than it will happen more often, and finally engine will die while driving.
