How many miles?

Tip: NSS....search here ...but first...tune it up (plugs for starters).

Mine is a 97 also....did you do anything about the NSS.

The CPS is next...the problem with the CPS is that the wire crosses over the top of the transmission and can actually "short" sometimes due to harness rubbing against the metal.

If it was me, I'd change the CPS first and then rebuild the NSS (it will need it if you haven't done it already).

Aloha...best regards..
