[long tall eta]

i suspect i have a bad crank sensor and know where they are but want to read up on it in the bently. can't find it listed in the index. can someone tell me what section it would b in?

Look in the section on injection electronics.

What symptoms do you have? In most cases a bad CPS will not allow the engine to start or run. But is there is any doubt about the CPS, replace it with a new unit.

symptoms are random stalling at idle and while driving. replaced all relays so there out. car starts right back up again and can sometimes go for weeks w/o any problems.

I'd check the CPS. It's an easy replacement and a fairly inexpensive part.

It is highly unlikely that is caused by a bad CPS. The more likely cause of the idle problems would be intake leaks and/or a sticky or bad ICV. If the engine cuts out while the car is at speed and in gear and the tach drives towards zero, power to the DME becomes the prime suspect (main relay, fusible link, or ignition switch). If the tach doesn't drive towards zero the fuel system becomes the main suspect.
