Bad CPS (Crank Position Sensor)
Thanks to you all I successfully replaced my CPS. It was tight but I managed.
I give this job a 1.5 out of 5 on the difficulty scale but a 3+ out of five for the patience needed. A set of small hands is a huge help. Much of the threading and unthreading done by hand in very tight quarters.
Tools I used:
*E8 External socket
*1/4 Drive: Universal Joint,
2" Extender
4" Extender
8" Extender
*Small mirror on telescoping rod (helped me see what I was working against)
*Telescoping magnet to retrieve dropped items
CPS Part# 0261210170 Bosch (Paid $52 shipped) www.autohausaz.com
Possible Savings: $300 - $500 at dealership
Thanks for the knowledge everyone!
