yep just like the title says,my car started misfiring pretty bad so i had it scanned and got the CPS code,anyone has pics or sketches of where it is? thanks for any help

 

It's on the timing cover, on the lower left as you look at the front of it. Normally, it does not cause misfiring, because it is not used for that purpose on an LT1. One can only assume from your screen name that you have a 1997.

my bad yea its a 97 camaro

 

so whats the purpose of the CPS and what kinda problems my car could show?

 

Used only to detect misfires. Some claim a faulty CKP sensor has made their engine run rough, but there is no logical reason for this to happen. You shouldn't notice any difference, other than staring at the SES light.

 

Hey Fred,
Could a bad or faulty CPS cause a no start condition???

Curious.

Thanks,
Ivan

 

if you need one i have new one ll sell you in box....

 

As far as I know, its just used for misfire detection. Just make sure the code list you are using is not confusing the CKP sensor with the Opti optical sensor. I've seen lists that are misleading like that. Use Shoeboxes trouble code list.
