What's the skinny on the blue CPS?
Is it supposed to be better than the black one?
For anyone in a similar situation, here is what I have found:
(all prices are local to me, rounded to nearest dollar, and do not include tax)
Hillcrest Ford - $212.00 - in stock
Gullo Ford - $192.00 - in stock
Napa - $185.00 - in stock - lifetime warranty
Reliable Auto Parts (local parts store) - $162.00 - in stock
O'Reilly - $149.00 - in stock - lifetime warranty
Auto Zone - $139.00 - have it same day - 1 yr warranty
International dealer (Houston) $103.00 - in stock (#1807339C92 - blue)
International dealer (Houston) $103.00 - in stock (#1825899C93 - black)
Looks like I'll be making the drive to Houston.

I ran the blue before I did my chip and it seemed to smooth the idle out and make the motor a little quieter. Once I put the chip in I switched back to black (like the AC/DC song) because of what Randy said above.
Just in case you need this, here are instructions for swapping out the CPS:

Not sure if any of you have noticed, but I always keep an Eye on Ebay for an extra/extra one for my glove. I have one, but the Prices latley have been in the $80's. what is up wiht that? guess they found a decent pay back for charging more now.
I have an Ebay one in my truck and one in the glove box, but always willing to drop another $50 for a third, cause you just never know.

Is the wait to start light coming on?
Do you hear the fuel pump coming on?
Check ICP connector make sure it is clean and tight
Check IPR makes sure connector is tight and the "tin nut" on the back is tight.

Don't know what that is. Can you dumb it up a little for me?

If so, it is good and tight.

Plugged in tight, and pretty clean...just a little dust
Hard to tell if the fuel pump is coming on. All I can hear when I turn the key is the chime under the dash. Is there a way I can tell without listening for it?

I changed the CPS with a new, black one from International. It still will not start.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
