I actually fixed it back in August but forgot to post the solution for future reference. Came across it last night and said, OOPS! <--

What made you check the CPS and change it?

Long story but basically my truck was running great and on a friday morning the "CPS Stutter of DEath" started on the way to work and since I was leaving that afternoon for a trip I had to get a local shop to fix it. Well after they "fixed" it it ran like a dog and I was determined not to have to take it back to them (another Long Story). After about a month of trouble shooting and running every test I could throw at it i was down to a faulty PCM and then the lightbulb went off (finally) and i looked at the reciept for the service and it listed a CPS with a Carquest Part number so I put that together with the fact that it all started after they "fixed" it I put my spare in and imeadiately the truck ran smoother and passed 12 consecutive CCT's with a max change of 0.2% on any cylinder, and its been fine since. But dont tell the wife, She thinks I am still saving money by "Fixing" it myself
