Default Check engine light off and on

Got 65,700 miles on my Crossfire. A few days ago the Check Engine light came on and stayed on for a few days. Today I turned the car on and it was off. This vexes me deeply as this is what was happening when the crank position sensor was going bad some 30,000 miles ago. The car stalled on me multiple times several years ago because of that and I don't want to go through that again. I know its hard to say but do you guys think its time to get a new CPS yet again? Is this what is causing the Check Engine to go off and on?

Easy answer.. blue tooth OBDII reader and Torque Pro..for your android device. 20 bucks later you'll be ready to read what's going on..

I guess its time to get myself a reader, I don't have a smart phone though haha. I'll stick to my motorcycle for the next few days as I order a manual reader and look up the code online I guess.

The Ultragauge is a cool toy and tool. MIne is stuck to my dash all the time.'
I can watch any of 50-some sensors with it, and it reads DTC codes as well.

Google it! $80

I'll definitely check it out! Would a faulty CPS trip the check engine light?

Yes, a faulty CPS will trigger the CEL. Surprising that yours went out at 35,000 miles. It's a known wear item but mine didn't need to be replaced until 75,000.

Code P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor. Dammit, the second time this has happened, once at 35,000 and now at 65,000. I'm so ready to sell this car.
