Cps?

Is it possible to have a bad CPS and yet still show a couple hundred RPM on the tach? Would I see smoke out the exhaust or not?

Thanks.

No RPM with a dead tach also no smoke BUT it is possible that you have an intermittent failure that is making the tach work but not enough to start the truck.

But in general a CPS is dead or alive. if it is intermittent it will shut the truck down but it will start right back up
