But, let's say the Imobilizer chip is, not close enough or stopped working somehow... Would cranking it cause a CPS code? Or is the DME smart enough to differentiate the two?

Second, anyone replace the CPS got a pic of its location?
CPS usually fails intermittently. Will refuse to fire, then work for a while, die while driving, then spring back to life etc.

This is definitely a failing CPS, not an immo problem. CPS is on the rhs of the engine where it meets the transmission bellhousing
