CPS Rewire

[johnathan1]

I need to do this soon, as sometimes my car won't start...jiggle cps wires, BAM! starts...lol. Also, It will sometimes buck slightly while cruising, and under low RPM acceleration...

Where is the write up for this (if there actually is one)?

 

[Dziuggy]

there is conerctor 4 wires. just cut them and reconect with new plugs (any 4 wirem/f plugs will work)

Ack I didnt see this post when I posted my CPS splice thread...lol. Sounds like Tifanny and Lucy are going through the same thing. My problem was not so much how to do it, but that the wire colors seem to be wrong.

yea the wire colors were diffrent on mine too, just do the wires one at a time so u cant mix them up, i just solderd them together lol.

 

[malloynx]

solder them together or get a GM weather pack

sorry, for double posting my issue. Mine is solved...back to J's thread. hehe

Wow, this thread is really old...I actually resolved this problem a while ago...I attempted to COMPLETELY rewire the CPS (all internal wiring included) and ended up breaking the CPS ...The pick-up coil cases cracked from age, and the coil went everywhere...sucks.

So I bought Aaron's old CPS that was in much better condition>>although I think I still may need to hardwire it...the contacts are old, and probably not in the best of shape, as I still have a slight bucking.

The plug removal/rewire is worth it. It solved my hot start problem 100%. The mismatched colors suck. I messed it up! Either label them with masking tape or do one at a time.

It did not solve my hot start (failure to hot start that is) problem. Car starts and runs like a raped ape when cold though. :naughty:
