I pretty sure I didn't need the engine serial number when I bought my CPS. Not sure, but I think the sensor is pretty generic as far as year model, etc. with some sensors manufacturers being better than others. The International sensor is reported to be the best one, but I haven't went that route.

thanks. i am wondering how is the cmp international blue sensor or should i go with a regular international sensor. will i always have this problem and should i really carry a spare.
