Sorry for all of your pain and agony - but sometimes it is good to hear that these things don't just happen to me!

I'd be worried about this if I knew what the CPS was...

Based on my woes -- might be good you didn't :-)

Crank Position Sensor.

Hard starts after car is warm seems to be a sign of a bad sensor.

After the fact I found out my mechanic had done it twice!!!
But he was lucky and retrieved it with a magnet very easily.

My bolt was far more nefarious?

Are you going to be at Laguna this weekend?

I'm working in Cupertino through the weekend, but if I get some
free time I might come down to watch the PCA Club races.

Hey at least you didn't get the transmission out only to find the missing screw over by a rear wheel.

:dance:

But I knew it had dropped because I felt it and heard it, but
Believe me -- that thought crossed my mind -- and I still swept the area twice :-)

When we opened up the tranny AND pulled the clutch fork and it wasn't there
I was ready to cry .....
