Well, you've got a couple of relays in the fuel system, too:

Crankshaft Position Sensor without it's cue nothing happens, except the

I cleaned the CPS connector but the sensor itself could be bad. Can a
bad CPS keep the check engine light from turning on right away? I
think the computer allows about 3 seconds to get at signal from the
CPS but I don't know if others have reported the check engine light
not lighting due to a bad CPS. Thanks
