CPS replacement DIY comments

Just replaced the CPS in our 2005 9-5 - 103k. Had no CEL or codes, but engine was staggering at stops and cutting out at speed, especially when hotter, and once it would not start.
The CPS is located on the forward side of the engine, on the lower right side, the the right and below the heat shield and very difficult to get to. Some have commented that this is a 15-20 minute job, others say 2.5 hours. I cannot see that it can be done in less than 2 hours unless you have the hand size of a first grader or have tools from NASA.

I found the large plastic throttle body intake duct also had to be removed to get to the connector. I found you had to work under the car some. The screw holding the CPS and shield in place is a T30. I replaced the screw with a hex head 6mm x 16 bolt when re-installing so I could turn it finger tight. So far I cannot get the wire clip back in. Took 2.5 hours. 3/8 socket U-joints did not help. Have a 1/4 drive ready. I'd advise paying someone with good tools and tiny hands. Some suppliers charge $103 and some $64 so shop around.
