I would just like to take a moment to thank you fellas on this forum that post up with answers to our questions. Without you guys, I would be LOST. Thank you again for your time, effort, and for the sharing of your knowledge. And for the links to very relevant information, like pictures, and part numbers, of what we are talking about.
My "intermittant" no start was a direct cause of a bad CPS. I changed it out, and so far, it starts all the time.
I would like to add a few things that may make it easier for someone else in the future who reads this and needs to install a new CPS. Following the FSM instructions, and what has been posted here as access the the CPS, if I have to do it again, I will do what is listed below. For me, it will be easier, better, and faster. Access, and room, are the problem. I was dicken around by not moving stuff out of the way. I had problems disconnecting the plug, and getting the plug out of the bracket. In hind sight, move stuff out of the way, get in, get out, and put stuff back.
1. Move coolant reservoir out of the way. No need to disconnect hoses. 2. Remove heat shield from top of turbo. 3. (from the bottom) Loosen nut on V-clamp from turbo downpipe, disconnect, and move downpipe outboard. Now you can see everything from top and bottom. 4. Remove heat shield over CPS. 5. Disconnect harness plug. Slide CPS plug out of bracket. 6. Remove bolt holding in CPS. Remove CPS. 7. Grease on O-ring. Install new CPS. Install bolt. 8. Slide plug into bracket. Connect harness plug. *Make sure tab on plug is toward front of vehicle. 9. Reinstall heat shield over CPS. 10. Reconnect downpipe to turbo. 11. Replace heat shield on top of turbo. 12. Put coolant reservoir back in place.
Submitted for your consideration.
