Some of the P8 software from the factory was a little glitchy (certain software revisions) but the ECU's themselves are reliable in my experience. Whereas the CPS, due to it's position (heat, water), would be my first (and cheaper) bet.

beware the breakout box pal - its likely to be as old as the original ecu loom
