OPTI question
My waterpump was leakin on my opti and it started to act up. So my question is, will a cap and rotor rebuild fix the problem, or is it the sensors that get screwed when they get wet?

Re: OPTI question
If your lucky nothing happened and when it dries it'll run normally. If you not lucky then you'll have to replace the cap/rotor and it'll be fine. If your day really sucks then you gotta replace the whole thing (cap/rotor/optical sensor).

Cap & rotor- hesitation, stumbling, knocking, backfiring
Opti- No start, rpm fluctuations
It's probably the cap & rotor, if the opti gets wet like that the computer loses it's only timing signal so it can't fire the injectors or the plugs. Some people have had luck with a hairdryer and others with alcohol to dry it, I've never tried it out though, my cap & rotor died from old age and got replaced.

Re: OPTI question
For that matter, what would I need to replace the whole Opti system? I was thinking that MSD is usually a good bet, but what parts would I need - the control and spark module, what else? I'd do it myself, if I could, so is installation pretty easy to handle?
My Opti got a thorough Virginia Beach soaking, and stumbled and missed pretty bad for a couple of days - I'd just as soon not have to worry about that again...
