I have been having an intermittent SES light going off and on. I have also been hearing ping and detonation around 3k RPMs once and a while. I was driving home and all of a sudden the car shuts off and dies. I pull over and try and start it up. It starts but quickly dies. Eventually it wont start at all it just turns over. I get it towed and the guy reads the codes and tells me I got a CPS fault, a VANOS fault, an auxiliary fan that doesn't work and my belts need changing (I changed them 20k miles ago). He thinks replacing the CPS will possibly fix a few codes, hopefully the VANOS one. He also told me the aux fan cools the car and it will cost about $300 for the part and about the same in labor because he has to remove the bumper. He quoted me $50 for the belts and $80 for labor. He quoted me $105 for the CPS and 1 hr labor and 1 hr diagnostic.
How does this sound what do you guys think? Will a bad CPS make the car quit running out of the blue?
