Recent history, please bear with me; first stall, thought out of gas (it was quite low) added some, started up & got her home. Stalled again next day, changed Crank. P.S., got her home. Used Napa; only one I could get on short notice. (Bosch ordered from Amazon)
Next day; added some solder on the 3 suspect RCM joints (THANKS Tighed1 & everyone else!!) I drove it 45 miles with a few stops along the way, no problems. BUT:
Today; cranks, no start; with symptoms stated above. No C.E.L. at any time, no code reader used yet.
Reviewing much info here; now thinking fuel pump relay. Maybe original CPS was still ok. Going to check now; spray some carb cleaner down intake & see if she'll fire.
Tighed1: if you are here, can I send you the RCM, if necessary? Read something about possible loaner, is that still available? I'll be back.

Try one step at a time. Replace the CPS with the Bosch and see how it runs. Mixing fixes by throwing hand grenades at it gets tough to decipher later on as to what works and what doesn't.

Did you get the solder to flow nicely around the pins?
