Loaded car, started car, after about 30-35 seconds BAM, car shuts down. Tried starting again, nothing, no crank. After a few tried my backup NEW RCM, car started again and within 30-35 seconds shut down again. I had just purchased refrigerated items and thought wasted $'s but after a couple more times of starting car and it cutting off, it stays running. Made it home with groceries and here I am.
So, this is not the SKREEM, never had to take off the battery cable. Not RCM, new one did same thing (no crank and when did start ran for @ 30-35 seconds and then cuts out). I am leaning to CPS BUT doesn't it still crank when the CPS is acting up?
I have not tried to access any codes yet.

It might be the CPS. Engine was running when it shut down, cps stays hot, cools down and you can start it. Heats up, then shuts down again.
Cheapest fix to try. If the new CPS is installed and it still does the same, you will have to check for codes.
