Only does tenths of a volt AC, but say a low .3 like .32 might flash a .2 now and then. When my CPS got there is when I got the echlin #css980.

Congrads on the house!

Several of my friends have good ones I could have borrowed. But I was going to do what you suggested and check the connection for the CPS, and I found the wires to be completely burned through. Obviously a problem.

Now she runs great. However, I did JUST replace the trans. And I did JUST ask myself if I should check the condition of the CPSand maybe replace it since I was there.

Of course I was cheap and lazy, as usual, and see where it got me?

Thanks on the house, still 2 weeks of waiting. :/

Yea! I confess that bites me sometimes to. On the other hand, how much hassle was saved not repairing stuff that works?

Glad you had that can to spray on there and fix it! (and didn't waste $ on a coil!)

Moving is third after death of a loved one and divorce, in terms of stress. Have fun!
