The failing CPS appears to be affected by heat, it often quits when it gets hot and will work again when it cools.
I have wondered that if you have one that is a problem if it would be possible to keep the temperature down if you wrapped some of that fiber glass/aluminum insulation around it. It sits in the tunnel and hot air rushes by it, it is screwed into the housing so maybe it gets a lot of heat from the block, who knows. It has a shield in front of it but it does diddly.
Electronic items do not like heat so keeping these CPS's cool should be a good idea.
How about a cold air intake ducting cooling air over it, you read it here first remember.
Keep a spare one and the tools to replace it in the trunk.
