| Crank Position Sensor???
Guys,
It has been awhile since I have been on the forum as my 2002 G500 has been running well. Last night while driving home I had the loss of power and was able to get my vehicle into a parking area on the side of the road. As I pulled in it died. It would not restart. It would crank and catch for 1/10 of a second and then die. This had happened to me once before in May of 2020 at 104K. Last time after a 20 minute cool down the truck restarted and I was able to drive it home. I replaced the OEM CPS with the Bosch unit.
I thought it was the CPS again this time so I let it cool for 20 -30 mins to the point I could touch the exhaust. Still would crank but not run. So not classic CPS. Truck was towed to the house, sat over night and starts/runs just fine. Classic CPS? The thing that concerns me is the CPS has only been installed for 4 years and 24K miles. Seems early for a failure. No CEL or malfunctions on dash and no codes when checked with a generic OBDII reader. Which suggests CPS or it was just a fluke electrical interruption. Is there a way to check the CPS (ohms or ?) to confirm that it is going bad?
I have a spare one that I can install but it leaves me suspect to take it very far from home. Others things I should be checking?
Thanks
Dave
