Bruce!

Thank you for your efforts as well. I think you are on to something. The cps did not even cross my mind. I now wonder if the rear main seal leak is contributing to the CPS in two ways; A) degrading the insulation of the wires if motor oil in on them; B) directly interferring with the CPS signal by way of oil on the magnetic tip. In my efforts to get this car utterly reliable and as part of my preventative maintenance, I will first hit the bone yard tomorrow and see if I can scavenge one from a donor car just to see if that is the problem. Meanwhile, I will also order a factory original to replace. I shall report back. Drove the car in the near summer heat today, and not a hint of the hesitation situation. I no longer feel like I can safely or predictably get from point A to point B and postpone errands out of a concern for getting stuck.

Thanks again for the tip Bruce, I think this is the solution!

Sincerely,

JBeechcraft
