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.

    Just like most things in mechanics. It’s almost always some bullshit you weren’t prepared for or didn’t even know was a thing and the hours tick away. But every time after that only takes a few minutes after some quick disassembly then reassembly.

    My first oil and filter change took over an hour. But it’s normally a 0.5/5 difficulty, 10 min job including the time waiting for oil to finish draining.
