CPS first time replacement Posted by Dano in Texas [Email] ![]() ![]() |
2003 Aero 80,000 miles. My wife is out running errands and calls to tell me her car cranks but won't start "like it's flooded". I tell her to do some more shopping and let it cool down and we'll see if it starts then. Luckily I had already purchased a new CPS in anticipation of just such an event. So a bit later it starts and we get her car back to our home.
Removal of the CPS was fairly easy. Getting the new one seated and plugged in was easy too. However getting the screw back in with the heat shield was difficult. My hands couldn't get it threaded in because of the tight space. My wife comes out to the garage and volunteers to try because she has smaller hands. First try, she gets it threaded and asks how tight I want it. What a great wife. I used the wrench with the extension and swivel to tighten it up.
Her Aero cranked right up but I will run the car longer today and see if it restarts when hot. Thanks to all the posters that provide insight on how to do-it-yourself here.
