Anyone had any problems with the Summit Optispark?

My buddy just installed one of the Optispark 2's that are from Summit. The car ran find for about an hour then studdered to death. After messing with the harness it restarted, made it home where it wont restart now. We swapped the harness wire off my car (which runs fine) and that didnt fix it. He is throwing a CPS code, but as I have read, that wont cause a no start situation. I guess my question is, should we be looking at the new opti, anyone had such a quick failure?
