Unless there are more symptoms with CPS, I thought the main symptoms were:

You start and drive fine. When you shut off and try to restart hot or warm, it spins but doesn't start. Once cooled off, it starts fine.

Hadn't heard of it stopping while driving, but CPS is not my area of expertise. I had a 911 cab that exhibited the scenario I just mentioned, changed the CPS, and it was fine.

In situations like yours, go back to the basics - gas, air, spark. Do you smell gas when you turn the engine over?

Does the gas gauge work? Do you have gas in the tank?
