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.
I pray to god mine doesn’t die anytime soon because I had to glue it on with 2k metal adhesive when the aluminum bracket broke off from the timing cover. I’ll probably have to replace the entire cover and I might as well do the timing chain when it comes to that.
I feel for you my friend, I really do.
Thankfully our CKPS Sensor isn’t under the timing chain cover, it’s independent and installed just above the starter.
