Very interesting thread going on over at

http://www.freeautoadvice.com/board/...ML/007011.html

To quote the thread:
============================
Hello to you all,
I am an engineer who designs CPS for one of the after-market companies. For obvious reasons we are interested in making the 12K073 CPS.

I have gone as far as disassembling a few 12K073 and cataloging the parts inside it, but I haven't got good information on the ways they fail, only that they do fail. I am interested in your opinions on how they fail - who better to ask than the folks that suffer most, eh?

And further down the thread:

By all means send me your tired and untrustworthy CPS. But I can't buy them, and I would need to pay for shipping by personal check.
If anyone is interested in this sort of honor system arrangement. Please send me any old 12K073 to:

Michael Ross
217 Valley Creek Drive
Claytion, NC 27520

Tell me how much the shipping cost is and I will pay you back. I will let you know whatever I find out about them. If they seem to be working, I will try and break them, so don't count on getting them back. If I can share a simple and reliable way to test them I will do so.
============================

Seems like this guy wants to try to solve the CPS problem. Any of you all have a broken CPS you could send him?
