Ok yesteray i took mine off cleaned the back buffed the aluminum and put it back with dieltic on back of it. it stalled once one me and am wondering if anyone has moved it to a different location, since its on head and creates alot of heat there. I do have a new one coming in today and am going to radio shack for heat sink compound.

In my epic quest to un-F one of my cars, I was told by a GM master tech that those are never the problem. They don't seem to get broken by heat either.

Just put the grease on the new one and it should be fine.

Have you checked continuity in your grounds by the coil? Those wires tend to break...

i had one of those grounds broken but today she died completely so im at a loss i finally broke down and took it to a shop they told me they will put the pcm on the comp and check it also he seems to be leaning toward fuel pump we will see on monday or tuesday and the new icm is in still same hopefully he can get it running quick and cheap at least he will accept my parts i dont know why but it seems like i have no luck lately at all ive never had a problem like this before always been able to diagnose and repaire fast maybe im just stressed out well i am lol

Dont forget to check the grounds in the trunk (fuel pump)

Hopefully monday he will tell me whats wrong

ok someone today mentioned to me the LIMP HOME MODE. Has any of you dealt with this and will reading the pcm finding whats wrong fixing it fix limp home mode or will i need a new computer. these cars with computers honestly scare the crap outta me.
