Congrats on getting it fixed. I keep a fuel pump relay in my car. I never thought about a spare CPS, where would it end.

It's hard to be sure. You could drive around with a 110lbs of every conceivable spare, or try and ID the few bits that will absolutely strand you and are easy to replace - and are almost impossible to find in-stock at a parts store. I've learned that the CPS is one of those things.

I've got such a list for the 900-series and the 120-series...

I'm not sure what else fits that bill on the 870 cars. Probably a bit of emergency heater hose, maybe a serpentine belt...
