After replacing my fuel pump for nothing (lets call it preventive maintenance...), I am now convinced the CPS is the cause of my intermittent no start condition. Basically when the sensor gets hot, the car does not start.
I am wondering if this part can cause driveability problems also. Is it used for ignition timing also, or is it only useful at start-up? My car is a real dog now, it feels like timing is retarded 20 deg... It might also have a vacuum leak at the upper manifold gaskets.
Last question : My search has turned up 2 part numbers, one which is roughly 25$, and supposedly specific to duratec (5L8Z-6C315-AA) and one that only says V6 in the description, and is 11$ us. (1S7Z-6C315-AA). What is the difference? Which one did you use?
TIA
