You could have a short along the wiring for the CPS or possibly the mounting bolts came loose. I'd check those first considering its free.

Try an ignition coil, if it sputters/backfire enough this can confuse the pcm into thinking it is a cps issue. If your other tune up stuff is ok this should work. Also check/replace dist pick up coil (cam sensor) sometimes the pcm/scanners weren't smart enough to tell the difference between the cps and cmp
good luck
