CPS failure

Had an adventure today when I had 3 failures simultaneously.

 

Was driving today and when the truck sputtered and died. I was doing 60 mph. I thought I had just run out of gas. Luckily I was on my way to my parents house and my mom brought me some gas and after adding about 3 gallons of gas the fuel gauge needle came off of empty but still wouldn't start. It was sputtering but wouldn't stay running. Opened the hood and found that the map senor vacuum on the throttle body had come loose and plugged that back in but it still wouldn't start. Next I texted the CPS and it tested at .35 volts AC. Which according to Cruiser54 is a failed/failing CPS. 

 

My question is how often does a CPS fail while driving? I had read about no starts because the CPS is bad but not anything about it failing while driving? Or is it just a coincidence that it failed after the map senor vacuum line popped out?

Can confirm that the CPS is dead thanks to the R.E.M.

I had it die on me once. Granted the fly wheel hit it and destroyed it thus it died on me. Was interesting.
 

But flat out failing, no. I thought I had experienced such on Chunk but that was the coil contacts being dirty which in a sense is similar.
