yea, definately. I hope this solves it, i think i might even have a spare CPS clip from a junkyard Ma70 turbo.
hmm just a quick question, whats the best chemical to use on eletrical contacts? You know, to clean off the 18 years of grime.

I don't remember the name of it, but RadioShack sells a cleaner that works really well. It comes in an areosol can w/ a straw & it blasts the crap out of the connectors.
awesome, thanks:icon_bigg Perfect timing, i'm about to go to work, where my car sits. I hope this fixes it. If not i'll get out the solder gun.
here is what i did last night. i have a spare CPS and i took it completely apart. from the looks of it, there is not much involved. the wires were so hard that they just cracked in half. i'm install to clean the whole unit and solder in new wire. basically i should have a new CPS when i'm done.
I'll post a write-up when i'm done

I believed you, but anyways that does seem to be the problem.. entirely. The problem was reduced drastically, but one time there was one stumble, and i got code 14. There was a constant stumble before. I'll try and get it back to my house soon so i can further diagnos the problem.
No problem guys, hope you guys get your corroded CPS wires fixed and enjoy better spark! LOL

hmm, so i've cleaned those wires (and all ignition related wires for that matter) checked my ECU harness for shorts, and replaced the ignitor, but i still have the problem. The problem is still occouring less and less, but it is still there. The only thing i can think of is to start replacing more things.. should i replace A) CPS B)Coil pack.
okay, so i neglected the car for a few days. I went outside to start it up and see how it was doing, i turned the key. nothing happened.. i mean nothing... all dash lights turned off.. the starter didnt move. my car hates me.
thats exactly what it was.. and for the other problem.. it seemed to go away without replacing anything. Its so rediculous. I dont have the back to back RPM spikes (like to the point of where i cant drive the car).. but they come every now and then (like one at the most).
