Stuck in a parking lot just put seafoam into the intake and now it won't start. I've got spark and fuel and obviously air. I've got a feeling it's the CPS but is their a way to check it before replacing? It just cranks and cranks

Sounds like you don't have spark if it just cranking.

How much seafoam did you put in the intake? You could ohm test the CPS. You won't have spark if the CPS is bad, would you?

Try giving it 50% throttle while you crank. I just had an unexplained no start the other day, and that helped.

I use (and suggest) 2/3 in the brake booster. 1/2 in the intake shouldn't hurt it.

Going home to grab multimeter then if it fails replace it. Why did seafoam cause this though? Started perfect before..
