I had this problem once in my 87 Turbo. The car turns over but does not start. It is loose CPS wiring or hard old wires that are giving you problems. The wires take on tons of heat and get old and brittle. My wires were loose.

It lies within the engine wiring harness or you will have to replace the small harness on the CPS which you will have to take the CPS apart or find a different CPS unit with wires that are not so brittle and hard.

Are your CPS wires hard and brittle?

ya the wires on the cps are know to break up. like he said you can either replace the wires, splice at the breaks, or replace the whole unit. i have one that just needs a cap. if you want it i can sell it for a reasonable price, just shoot a pm

alot of people will just replace the wires and splice onto the connector. if you dont feel comfortable with that, then just get a different one.
