Ugh, NEVER BUY AN EBAY CPS. Actually stay away from EBAY for sensors in general. Yeah they are 40% cheaper than OEM or NAPA parts but they LAST 1/12 of the average life span if they are not DOA to begin with.
Here's the logical argument:
EBAY CPS: $50 / Lifespan: 5,000 Miles (being generous)
OEM CPS: $100 / Lifespan: 60,000 Miles (not being generous)
These EBAY sensors are generally made in a factory in China that has no specialty. They could be making your sensor one day and your kids squirt gun the next day.
I'm sure this is common knowledge among many folks here but it wasn't for me. I installed an EBAY TPS on a few weeks ago and it was DOA. I put a EBAY CPS on about a 11 months ago (5000 miles?) and it's already pooped out on me leaving me stranded on the side of the road. Glad it's a relatively cheap fix but tired of fixing/paying for the same part. Learn by my mistakes.
