Just changed my CMP sensor.

Well, I was pulling into the driveway this weekend and the engine idled like: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......RRRRRRRRRRRR. Just like someone turned the key off for 1/2 second. The steering wheel was blocking the tach so I couldn't see what it was doing but it was definatly an electrical cutoff not a tapering down like fuel pressure loss. It never did it again, after reading all the posts about CMP failures and talking to my son-in-laws father about his experience replacing 3 of them in 60k I thought it's time for mine to go. Now it's back down to the International dealer for another spare.

AFAIK they didn't, don't know why. His truck was chipped at one time and they might have said "too bad".
