    I'm thinkin I might need to check mine... Went to start it today and it would crank but not fire up. Good voltage, I can hear the fuel pump cycle when the key is on. tested the coil and the primary was showing WAY too much resitance, so I got a new one but it didn't seem to be the problem. So Now I'm thinking it's probably the CPS or the distributor. Is the CPS something that just goes out without warning, or is it a gradual thing? I'm wondering if it could explain the sputtering/stalling symptoms I've been having for a while now.
