95 Cutting out????? HELP

95 automatic.
I was just driving home after picking up a tow dolly. All of a sudden it just started to cut out. It seems to have straightened out but I have a 1400 mile trip next week and I CANNOT get stranded. Any ideas????? Thanks

Have you changed the GPR harness yet? I just had to do mine about 6 mo ago, they get dry and cracked and start shorting out. You'll know if it seems like it's running on 4-6 instead of eight...

Seems like a CPS problem, they don't just go bad, they act flakey.

Have you noticed the check engine light on? It would help if you knew someone with an OBDII DTC checker. If you have a Auto Zone near you they will check for codes for free. How long have you had this vehicle? Have you had basic maintenance? Fuel and air filters? I would check these areas first if you haven't already done so. It does sound like a cam position sensor but it always best to start simple first then get technical. CPS will usually throw a code but not always. If it ends up being CPS go to International to get parts they are cheaper.
