Cps

Afew weeks ago my truck would run fine then spit and sputter and die, it would restart and do fine afterwards. It did this for about 2 weeks, the general concensus on here was a bad CPS. I didn't have the money to replace so I kept driving it. Now all of the sudden for the last 2 weeks it hasn't had one problem. Any other ideas on what it might be, or could the CPS just be playing possum?

cps's are very intermittent some times. is there a check engine light? many times a cps won't set one but other problems will most everytime. valve cover wiring harness problems also cause these symptoms but they will most always set a code
