Box store CPSs are problematic. Is the warm start issue what started the part replacement?

I think that would be good. Box store ones can be bad fresh out of the box.

Any check engine light?

Does it have a chip?
When it is cold, how well does it start? Any smoke?

Thought I’d share this as I was having issues starting cold then it got to where it eventually wouldn’t start at all sounded like it was cranking good enough but anyway it was battery connections long story short they looked good but there was lots of corrosion in between the terminals cleaned them up and truck fired right up I really didn’t think it was the issue because it literally sounded and seemed to be cranking over fine anyway good luck to you man I’ve been in your shoes more than once with my truck
