CPS...CPS....CPS try changin that first its one bolt and is a normal cause of no start especially if it was running rough before

* WTS light?
* Tach move while cranking?
* Any white smoke from the tailpipe?

ok so i got to c it today it does start. runs good for a second or two then runs like crap. wts light is working. tach moves while cracnking. and i did not notice any white smoke. cel is on. not throwing any codes.

If the CE light is on, it's throwing codes. What scanner are you using?

Rough run shortly after startup -> I've seen other threads where it's a UVCH / injector wiring issue. After a few seconds, the IDM detects an injector problem and shuts down that whole side. _Might_ be informative to let it run like that for a minute or so, then point an IR thermometer at each runner on the exhaust manifolds, see if one whole side is cooler.
