First off, I have searched the forums this morning for about 2 hours and haven't found anything related to my problem so I wanted to ask for help here.
In the last 6 months, my truck has started eating CPS's again. I had happen a few years ago also. I had two used ones on hand and had swapped them out as one would fail. I then had to buy one from Advance Auto and it lasted about two months. The one from Advance Auto failed so they swapped it out for free but this is getting ridiculous.
Symptoms are: Start it up (usually leaving from work) and runs fine. I don't even get one block from work and it starts missing like its running on about four cylinders. It also throws a SEL at this point and that light stays on until it either smooths out or I get it home to change the CPS out. I had Advance Auto check for codes and there weren't any. I have checked the harness for bare or burned wires and couldn't find any. I haven't checked the harness in great detail but I will do that this weekend.
I talked to a guy at work and he wondered if the IDM could be starting to fail. I wouldn't think this would be the case since I just replaced that in 2010. I had also researched IDM failure and it either runs or it doesn't. What else could be causing my truck to eat CPS's?
I am stumped and appreciate any help or suggestions you guys might have.
Thanks
