So my jeep died in December and I replaced the CPS. All was great until today. Jumped in the jeep and fired it up. Backed up 3 feet and jeep died. Will not start. P320 code again. What can cause 2 CPS to fail in 3 months?

Was the replacement CPS you bought an aftermarket from a store like AutoZone or Kragen?

At this point, I imagine Jerry, one hand on hip, the other hand wagging a finger.

I'm not saying you got a bad CPS from AutoZone but their sensors are not known for quality or reliability. I got two bad sensors in a row from them one Sunday when I couldn't get a Mopar from the dealer. Fortunately the third time was the charm that day.

Where critical components are concerned, I won't buy them from a store like AutoZone. Items I'd never buy there include any sensors, senders, radiators, water pumps, steering boxes, water pumps, alternators, or starters.

If all that happened to old one was damaged wires you could repair the wires as long as damage not right against the sensor

The sensor has no moving parts (unlike the TPS) so no reason it should wear out

wires looked good so not sure why it died

thanks Jerry I have the lifetime warranty so we will see. If it fails again I will go oem. I am just concerned something else is killing them
