yeah i forgot to add in the pm that when i was having intermittent fuel and spark problems it was very rare and occasional at first. over the next year and a half it just gradually got worse until it was happening every time it was warm. towards the end of the PCM's demise, i was also stalling while the car was stopped in drive. and sometimes at wide open throttle it would misfire. good luck once again.

on a hot day, after sitting through a lot of traffic, my ignition module will heat up and my car will sputter and die. Remove the module, and grease the back with dielectric grease and place it back. It might help, but if it continues, replace the module

don't by a code reader just use a jumper wire,and use it on your harness output...where you hook up the code reader..just read flashes,and count.

you can do KOEO,AND KOER...

PLUS IF IT'S YOUR MODULE WHICH I THINK IT IS..whoops....i have a MSD one...they ain't cheap but i'll sell it for like 35-40 bucks?..
