So...I may have fixed my bird

well I have been chasing a random and possibly heat related ignition issue the past few weeks. Everywhere I turned, it was pointing the usual suspects (opti, coil or icm) so I decided to pick up a new ICM & coil since they were the cheaper and easier to install components. The car would run like a charm then have a very quick loss of power (like someone just unplugged the car) followed by sputtering or stalling maybe 30 seconds later. It would not refire right after stalling but would after waiting a couple minutes. It always fires back up but its intermittent.

Replaced the coil and icm today and took it for an 1.5 hr ride to see if its ok. Also did the ICM cooling mod with the washers while I was at it. Usually the problem would occur around thr 15-30 min mark with any kind of driving and it didn't have any issues. I still don't trust it but I really hope I'm out of the water on this one. The damn car sits in the garage for the winter and when its time to drive it, it gives me issues so I'm definitely ready to enjoy it. Wish me luck.

Not an exciting tale but you don't know how this has been racking my brain. Also, rolling the fenders tomorrow after work at my place so if anyone is interested in getting theirs done before I send it back, stop on by.
