I let it idle and it shut off as it got to about 190 degrees and won't start.

The only code it's giving now is a code 58 - Personal Automotive Security System.

Took the ICM out to O'RLYs and it tested bad. Though that could be a bogus reading. Time to start shopping around.

So, um, it would seem the problem is actually with the CPS.

Despite the CPS being the cheaper part of the three (PCM, ICM, CPS) it's the most frustrating to replace because of the necessary adjustment.

So I want to know if it would be possible to upgrade to one of the later years non-adjustable CPS.

Anyone have any ideas?
