That should have made your tach not move. That's the give away for the CPS. Glad you're wife stayed with you.

Weird. Tach always moved when I was having the issue.
I am 99% it was the CPS. I changed a bunch of things through out 2 months and nothing seemed to resolve it.
Changed the CPS and the car immediately behaved better and never gave any issue. It's been a month of 2 as of right now.

I replaced it with a brand new one, but I feel like the old one was fine, just very dirty. There was a thick layer of oil/gunk on it. It feels like it is a part that shouldnt break.
Anyways, $90 was a cheap fix.
