I have a 1995 ATX with one hundred and fifty thousand on it, it started to stall out on me every once and while so i decided to do the tune up, new plugs, wires, intake and valve cover gaskets with plug well seals, new coil pack, ingnition mod, battery, and air filter, hopeing that it will fix the problem, but it didn't, once it starts to warm up it just shuts off and won't restart until it cools down, please anybody got any advice i would really appreciate it, thanks :thankyou:

CPS is the Crank Position Sensor that sits right below the water pump. What usually happens is that the water pump developes a leak over time and will drip onto the CPS causing it to fail. The best thing to do is have it scanned or pull the codes yourself, there is a write up on here some where on how to pull codes with out a scanner. If it turns out to be a failing CPS then you should replace the water pump and timing belt while you are in there.
