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.
Getting ready to do another one myself, the part is in transit
I’ve done quite a few of these over the years, I’ve never had one with its own wire like that. They’ve all had a plug on the side of the sensor to plug the wire into
Is this one located in an otherwise difficult to reach location?
There are 3 (three) individual wires in that short wire harness, that had no Earthly business shorting out with each other.
It’s not a single wire you see on the faulty component, it’s the entire wire harness melted and all three wires shorted together.
Edit: This was fairly easy to access here, just above the starter, on a 2005 Hyundai Tucson 2.7L
