Lenard Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Last night while i was on break from class I drove over to Quick trip, and that was i as far as i made it, Died on me in the parking lot, started checking things out, had fuel, all my grounds were good causes everything turned on, but no spark to the engine. so i said screw cause i was already late getting back to class and it was raining, dark and cold and i didn't want to mess with it, so i had it towed, (AAA so it was free :banana: ) got up this morning started no problem, So i called Carquest and they had CPS so i went and got it, and replaced this morning, drove it back to home home this afternoon (1 1/2 hr drive) no problem, and actually runs a little better. So I'm hoping that was the problem, it has died on me before at random times but had always started right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddzz1 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Mine does the same every now and then, I unplug the CPS connector and plug it back in and it starts right up. Hasnt done it in a while now, probally means I won't be so lucky next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenard Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 i sure hope that was the problem, that was way to much work if it wasn't. as i did not have the proper tools for job, no extensions, or wobble or 45 degree ones, just a plan ol socket set, it was a pain in the @$$! :grrrr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 If you remove the front driveshaft, you can get right to it with a standard 11mm box wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
