"I am getting a symptom where the engine cranks and does not start or even try to start (as in catch and stall)."

Then that's when you must check for spark (or not) at one of the plugs. If there is spark, then you can dismiss the CPS (without which there can be no spark) and look for a fuel-related problem. IMO, this should be the first step in ANY no-start analysis.

Until you've verified a good spark when cranking, all this fuel-related chatter is a waste of everyone's time. Regina Ignition problems are less frequent than fuel, but it's a mistake to assume fuel, sensors, etc. on every no-start

And I'm not sure your assumption about what a "bad CPS" does is valid. Since, as I've said about some FAQ descriptions, it's based only on your one individual experience.
