That's good advice, but it doesn't sound like ICP symptoms to me, though. Both times I gelled, I did get the low/uncontrollable ICP codes. I'm sticking with the fuel supply theory, even though he should do the unplug test since it's so easy.

I recall the same thing being said about the #8 cylinder issue, couldn't be cause by a CPS.

Mostly just throwing some ideas out there, though.

A cylinder # 8 code being thrown seems to be a problem with the new cps. But i have never read anyone having a poor running issue and it turning out to be the CPS.

When my CPS went south it had the same symptoms. It would run poorly, then run fine until it finally died. But then again my fuel pump was also on it's way out.

You can check the ICP sensor at anytime. Start it, unplug the connector and see what she does. You will get a CEL from unplugging it.
