No warning when my CPS went. 2000 XJ 4.0 137K. Curious, are there any
other "mission critical" parts that should be kept in the rig in case of
failure?

Pretty much so.... I would replace CPS before it fails if it has ove
100K on it. They are not that expensive and are known to fail with
age. It is kinda a crap shoot for guessing what else is likley to fail
with dire results after CPS.

I keep a cell phone.
What you stash in the rig all depends on how far and how difficult
your trip is going to be.
Replacing the CPS sensor on the trail must rank up high in the
pain-in-the-*** scale.
Sitting in the back of my ZJ right now is
- tire puncture repair kit
- compressor (little bitty one)
- 50/50 cooling fluid & water (I mix my own it's cheaper)
- brake fluid (probably need to take that out as I found the leak)
- oil (for topping it off)
- hose repair kit (clamps, splices)
- spare belt (I have to keep one because my ZJ uses a non
standard size 108") Got to feed the blower.
- distributor cap/rotor/spare wire/plug
(I have had a plug crack in my old truck)
cue beginning of stuff-I-have-in-the-jeep thread. :)
