Bit of Ju-Ju magic going on there.
The active pulse generated by the CPS only occurs at a time set by the gaps/magnets.
Once clean and hard contact, the connections will be fine.

Yes , items like the CPS , ABS and Hall Effect sensors generate tiny little pulses of electrical current . Dirty or loose connections are as bad as a broken wire.
A missing pulse can e enough to stop the whole system.

Oops spoke to soon,was running fine yesterday been to put petrol in this morning cut out again couple of miles from home,got it started again after 10 mins got onto drive at home cut out again,so I think back to the drawing board,Tatton is out of the question I think,no hard shoulder on motorway near me for 5 miles not risking that smart motorway,away on Sunday to Spain so I’ll have a good think on the beech.
