to be honest, at this point i dont know where the connection for the CPS is-there was a cracked wire right behind the oil filter and down a bit but thats does not look like the plug of the CPS I saw on the net. I am about to pull my coil to make sure there is spark there. Do you or anyone here know if I buy an in line tester for the spark plugs how useful that test is. Will it only tell me i have spark? Or will it give me an idea of the strength?

I read where someone had a 190e-same year-had spark, timing was right, had fuel, etc and it turned out to be a bad ignition module or whatever the coil plugs into is named. Perhaps that is very rare.
