I suspect that the CPS might be bad so I replaced it with a spare. Test drove it for 10 miles without stalling. So far so good. Keep my fingers crossed.

My 92 SE (manual shift) only gets 14 to 17 MPG. I don't press the gas pedal hard and use cruise control most of the time. What should I do to improve the MPG?

I have searched the forum for advice...

I know the reason that the engine was not turning when I tried to start it was an electrical problem, not mechanical. The engine started acting strangely after I grounded the VTC. Plus, the MAF...

I would say I can do medium level mechanical and electrical repairs. Just putting a 12V DC power to the starter is not enough to test it as there is no load as you rightly pointed out.

Changed the switch. It is very easy...all you need is a 27mm or 1-1/16 inch deep socket. There is enough room to put a socket on top of the switch.
