Before you go to the CPS repair, have you changed the gas filter yet or checked the gas line pressure?

It took a 7mm. And the easiest way to get to it was to slightly bend the heat shield back a little bit, to gain access to it. it took a little over 15 minutes.

use a 1/4" socket. 3/8 is too wide to slip onto bolt. I replaced 2 CPS before I had a pressure reading done on the rail and realized that it was a bad fuel pump. Replacement too all of 30 minutes.

6mm to be exact. Well we will see if it is the fuel pump, hope not though.
