Grands are their own animal....

Re: Need help in troubleshooting ignition problem
Which leads me to wonder if the problem is not the CPS, as is so often
assumed, but really a fault in the computer -- some endless loop
triggered when inputs line up _just_so_ or something (in my mind I'm
picturing the old MS-DOS loop of "Printer not found - Abort, Retry or
Fail? Abort, Retry or Fail?"). After all, the CPS is just a dumb
sensor, unplugging it shouldn't fix or reset anything in it.
Which then makes me wonder how many CPS have been needlessly replaced
and paid for either in cash or busted knuckles.

Re: Need help in troubleshooting ignition problem
Keyboard not found, press any key to continue.
There is something that goes wrong in a bad Crankshaft Position
Sensor, that is only temporarily solved by unplugging it, until that
trick won't work anymore. So, I believe none have been needlessly
replaced.
