Somehow it’s been running (but roughly) for the past 2+ years or so, with all three wires to the CKPS missing molten/dryrotted insulation and intermittently shorting out.
I really don’t know how his vehicle ran as long as it did with such a faulty part, like that’s the sensor that tells the spark plugs when to fire and the fuel injectors when to spray…
Now it’s running pretty smooth again, still a couple minor hiccups here and there, but nothing like it was.
Addendum: This situation should have triggered OBD code P0335 and/or code P0336, but it never did. I had to go on a hunch and past information on the vehicle, like what’s the only remaining ignition related part that hadn’t already been replaced twice.
P0335/336 are the codes that should register if there’s bad voltage levels detected from the CKPS…
