So should I be looking for a short in the wiring of the sensor or could something else go wrong with this system?
Here's a short list:

1. The new CMP sensor wasn't aligned correctly. Did you mark it or use the special positioning tool?

2. The CMP synchro shaft is failing. Sometimes the teeth on the synchro get worn or even break off.

3. The harness connector or circuit/wiring are faulty (short, open, etc.).
