I think that is a rather inadequate test to warrant replacement of a ~$150 part. Granted the CPS may be the problem, but the test you suggested does not determine that one way or another.

To the OP, if you're made of money then by all means feel free to throw parts at the problem. The CPS may even be the problem...... But just know that diagnosis is the preferred route.

I would certainly want to rule out fuel system issues before plunking down for a new CPS. But if time is money to you, then perhaps the shotgun approach will work for you.
