Hey Mike/Jay,

I will be picking up a CPS late this afternoon (Jay, Tom at TC's Garage was able to get one on short notice). I'll mess around with it this evening to try and replace it.

$110 for the part from TC and I can get it today. $263 from the stealership, and I can't get it until Monday. There seem to be tons of aftermarket ones on the internet for much less, but I need the part today, so I can autocross Saturday.

Now, if Porsche could just have built these cars with a more accessible engine, like maybe a '69 Beetle, that would should make things easier!

Mike, why the rag? To prevent SKS?

I am guessing it is easier if the car is on a lift.
You have that place near you that rents them by the hour

Hopefully changing the CPS will fix it
