CPS harness is the plug you unplugged and plugged back in when you changed the CPS. I can't remember if you can get your hand to it with the truck running or not. You want to be able to wiggle that plug around with the truck running. Please don't hurt yourself. If you can make the truck die by wiggling, you'll have to order a new pigtail and solder it in. I went through 3 ICP sensors before I figured out it was the plug and not the sensors themselves.

Since it's doing it in the rain, you should know that sometimes the windshield-wiper motor electrical "noise" gets the PCM confused with the pulses from the CPS, and it loses it's place calculating the proper injector firing. It shuts down for safety (wouldn't want a shot of fuel injected at the wrong time), but will "find itself" and continue on.
Sometimes replacing the CPS will cure the problem, sometimes putting electrical noise filters on the windshield motor will do the job.
Does it do the same thing in "low-speed wipers" as "high-speed wipers"? There are two separate motor power inputs. If it acts differently in one speed than the other, you may have found the cause of the engine problem.
It's a place to begin to look........

Most likely the CPS as it is a pretty common problem. I would try cleaning it with an electrical contact cleaner. Then reconnect and spray the outside with a silicone spray to keep the water out. It could just be the connector is getting water in it.
It could also be a short in the wire harness on the engine. Many times a short will trigger similar issues you describe.
