This is true^^^^^^^.

When mine went out, the tack quit, but the car still ran.....there are 2 pickups on the CPS. The assumption is that one is for the tack and one for the PCM to control spark.

Now if you found loose wires, that could be a problem now or later, so its good you found them. Whether or not its the cause of your current problem, only time will tell. I am really suspect to all the loose connections you have. I have had my car for over 5 years and have yet to find a loose connection anywhere. Have you done any work to the car recently that would have caused all the loose connections, or did you buy it recently (someone may have demoded and not hooked everything back up tightly).

keep us informed and we can help out if needed
