Re: Check out bobc's recent post on the 9-5 Board Posted by B Millar [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Check out bobc's recent post on the 9-5 Board, MI-Roger ![]() |
Yeah, BobC's post is pretty cool, but I still don't think it applies to Jim's situation. You're describing the CLASSIC symptoms of CPS failure. My 9-5 did the same exact thing this past summer. Driving down a nice back road and boom, it shuts off. I'm sitting there on the side of the road cranking and cranking but nothing happens. On the phone trying to get a hold of someone (still cranking), when 20 minutes later a guy in a 9-5 pulls up seeing what was wrong. I go to show him it won't start and it starts with 2 cranks (boy do I look dumb). What the hell? I go to where I was headed with no problems, then on the way home, driving along it suddenly just shuts off. By now I knew what was going on and sure enough it started right back up after cooling off for 30 min. Next day brought it to my Saab indy in town (got there before the engine reached temp) and was outta there the next day with a new CPS for $200.
