Ahyup.. it just leaves goo that attracts more dirt.
Use a good contact cleaner like the ones made by econoline
but keep it well away from paint and use gloves, the stuff
will remove oil from anything and that includes your skin.
Best cleaning method is to put a bag around what your spraying
and some paper towels in the bottom of the bag. Spray in the
bag and use an old toothbrush to scrub the contacts.

The bag will keep any splatter away from where you don't need
it.

Always wear proper eye protection!

Re: Engine dies out
 

I will agree with the dirty contact rather than a replacement.

I found a really good contact cleaner at an electronics parts shop. It
leaves nothing behind.

WD40 is still pretty good.

Re: Engine dies out
 

I have been advised to solder the wires together, in case it was bad
connection.
I can't understand why this should happened only when the car is hot, and
why it will start after 30 minutes even if I haven't touched the connector.
Also, when I did follow the advice and disconnected the CPS the last time it
happened, and connected again, and it worked, I decided to solder the wires
together, but trough a switch.
This way, I will be able to reset the CPS again just by pressing the switch
if it happens again.
I will continue to give update on this.
