Maybe the CPS, but also have you tried adding distilled water into your battery?

We first replaced her battery b/c there was no water in it at all but in less than 72 hours she stalled again. I searched the forums and saw the CPS issue with the 430 engine. We got it to the dealer and they sourced the code right to the CPS. When the CPs is out the engine dosen't know what to do. It can;t set up a spark pattern to get it going.
Total: $450 parts and labor, no more stalling

[QUOTE=JYOO;2921373]I payed 220 to have the CPS repaired that included the towing. 450 sounds outrageous.[/QUOTE
It was only $400 for the CPS change. My GF got an oil change too. I forgot about that one
Where the hell do you live? Did you get it done at the dealer?
I think the CPS alone was $200.
