If the CPS components are faulty, that shouldn't trigger a hard start, will it? Maybe I should just do what the other thread says to remove it and regrease it. I can barely do brakes so I'm not sure if this is something I will be able to tackle on my own.

Where did you find the harness? I had to buy an old harness, hack it and then use it.
AutoZone starters are cheap & come with a Lifetime warranty. (we all know what that means

)
In the meantime, wack your stater with a mallet and see if it helps (no kidding).
It's a very easy job, 15 - 20 minutes at most. Easier than brakes.
But .. I'm a little uineasy to think that it is your problem ... The code still bothers me.
Your old CPS may have contributed to the death of your starter, I've also had that happen to me.
