Does anyone recommend moving the ECM away from the block or should I jus go get a new one ?

 

I think you mean ICM... ttt

 

yes i do

 

You don't give any info on a specific problem, so it might be hard for anyone to recommend a course of action. If you want to try spacing the ICM from the head, it will cost you next to nothing as compared to buying a new ICM.

 

Well from what I've read so far alot of people are running into the same problem, after 20 minutes of running, car gets hot and starts fluttering and hesitating, so I was looking into this fix.

 

mine is moved. it works good. i also have the hi-x coil on it

 

hey shoebox , i put my grounds on the back of the coil icm mounting plate instead of the front , would this have any ill effects on the car ??? thx , i forgot how your pic was on your site as I dont have a printer.

 

A ground is a ground-as long as it is securely attached and nothing is isolating it from what you are attempting to ground.

 

where did you move yours to? i am looking into doing this.

 

I had to think a minuite on this post.
ICM
You could have just said "ignition control module".

i will take a picture of mine in the morning

 

I have the same problem and have tried a new ICM and spacing the unit off of the head, neither worked. Hope you have better luck!

 

I figured so , i just didnt know if it was better on the icm plate , i used 3 washers on each side , mine had 2 studs . thx for the site btw its an excellent resource as i try and figure out what is wrong with my car

 

IF the plug that comes off of the ECM into the opti has gray powder in it does that mean theICM is bad or just the wire ????
