9-3 Stuck at gas station. Please throw me a bone here:) Posted by Nicholas [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Girlfriend has been taking car to work for awhile, which is a fairly short drive. She said the car was sputtering yesterday, just as she got to her job (after engine well warmed up). She was able to drive back home after a 12 hour day without much trouble. Today, similar problem as she stopped for gas across the street from work. Turned off car, and car will now not start but does crank.
I think I had similar problem to this as heat/cool and it was the CPS sensor. What's bothering me is that it hasn't been but 2 or 3 years and not many miles since I replaced that sensor. If I go back up to the gas station in a few hours and the car starts cold, is it likely the CPS sensor again? Only recent maintenance I can recall was changing the plugs about a month ago. I replaced them with the standard copper as recommended in this forum. The previous plugs were I believe the NGK platinum. Those were the much higher priced of the two copper plugs, but I had read they performed about the same as the copper.
If this is likely the CPS sensor, is it normal for these to burn out often? I am pretty sure the one I replaced with was some auto parts store variety I probably got from Advance auto. Is there a better or OEM one I should get, or is something else possibly wrong here? 2000 9-3 (rebuilt engine) Thanks!
