Maybe just a loose / dirty connection? I forget how it connects, but I do know I have the hardest time getting it out.

It should pop right out, no problem. I have swapped out two this year. I would assume a bad connection and order a new replacement one. It a $30 part, no reason to screw around.

It happened again no rumble strip was involved. I’ve made it to a filling station for now.

I have a spare with me and will change it while I’m off the road.

The new cam position sensor has been installed thanks to a 10 mm deep well socket and a short extension. The connection looked very clean at the plug. If you don’t hear from me again, I made it home :-)

Let's hope so! Doesn't it feel good to have the parts on hand for something like this?

New CPS got us out of Wyoming, across Utah, and into Idaho without a hiccup.

Those rumble sticks are very aggressive.
