Am aware that the most common symtom of CPS failure is that the engine tends to die at idle ( at lights, junctions etc), usually when the engine is up to operating temperature..
The CPS's job is to detect a missing tooth on the flywheel. What I have often wondered is why the sensor seems to fail at idle speed rather than, say , 3000rpm?
Anyone have any ideas?
