Its important to ask because...uh well...THE PAST TWO ****ING CPS'S I BOUGHT WERE EITHER FAULTY OR THE GODDAMN WIRES WERENT LONG ENOUGH!!! The one that was **** right out of the box was from ebay, big ****ing surprise there, but the 2nd one I got from Autozone...MY ****ING HOME AWAY FROM HOME! Theyve never done me wrong and now I feel betrayed. Where EXACTLY did you buy your CPS so I can copy you and quit getting burns up and down my ****ing arms from hot oilpans and header pipes? End rant.

Advance Auto, the wiring is about 1" shorter but still works. My problem turned out to be fuel pump so 80 bucks and 2 hours for nothing. I do however have a spare now.

Another thing, you can cut the bottoms out of the holes, so when you need to put it on, or take it off, you don't have to take the bolts completely out. You obviously will to get the old one out, but from then on, it will be far easier. Our buddy BlueXJ turned me on to that trick!!

Dayamn! I figured Id stay away from the factory part since thats the one that crapped out. Just put my CPS from Napa in and not only is it the right length, but it actually functions!!! What more could a fella ask for? Napa FTW!
