It took my a couple of reads of the post to see that since the post is missing some punctuation and it all kind of runs together.

That being said, the CPS is where I would move next but only after double checking the battery posts for ANY corrosion and to make sure the connections at the battery are good and tight. I had the problem of my car dieing when coming to a stop. I checked the battery connections and they seemed tight, but I wiggled them a little harder and the positive cable moved. Got about 8 turns on the positive cable clamp nut and about 5 on the negative. It has never died again.

Good point on the CPS though - definitely worth checking if problems persist.

Um yeah! kind of...
I took "may not kick over the starter engine sounds fine " as the starter motor is turning the engine over but it did not fire.
Either way between the two suggestions I think the OP has something to go on.
Hope it helps.

By the way is my understanding of the RCM issue correct, is that only a "no crank" issue?

Thanks!
