Alright so i keep hearing this affects Starting your car. Ive had a couple Random start failures and figured this would be a start to solving this prob.

Where exactly is it located, what should I be looking for ( no luck on Real OEM)

cheers

well what are you expecting to see...!lol
you cant tell by looking at it, unless of course the wires are damaged

a faulty CPS will usually mean the car wont fire, sometimes fires at wrong moment
