Truck wont run without CPS.
At all.

It might detect RPM's, but the sensor isn't reading the timing right, so its just showing RPM's, but its out of focus so, no fuel.

I hope that helps a bit.
Its really a finicky thing.

Last month my truck died. The tach was moving so I thought maybe not the CPS. The snap-on however read no RPMs so the tach CAN bounce when cranking and the CPS be bad but it isn't common.
