CPS???

[7m2ner]

a few weeks aga i set the timming on the car to 15 degree's and even then once in a while the cars seems to idle rough, and at has happened to me twice that the car just wont start, and if i hit the CPS it starts, so i was wondering if it was that i just have a bad cps or wat else could be my problem:1zhelp:

After the CPS gets older and older, the male/female wires come apart and that is the reason why giving it a jiggle or whacking at it will make the car start. It shouldn't have anything to do with your "timing" but touching and messing with it, you could've knocked it silly.
Just take it apart...and rewire.

Not to be a dick or anything, but if you search, you should be able to find something about rewiring it. Not a hard thing to do. I just have have time. Good luck.

You don't have to hit the CPS, just jiggle the wires coming from it...sounds like it needs to be re-wired...

BTW...will anything be damaged by running the timing that far in advance?
