OptiSpark Life
Hey. I just wanna know how what year your car is and how many miles it had when you had optispark failure.
1993 Pontiac Formula - Optispark failed last week. 70,000 miles.
My first opti failure.

105,000 miles! I just changed mine cause my water pump was going bad. I didnt have any optu failure symptoms, but when I removed the old opti the input shaft was really lose, you could hear is rattle if you shook it too. SO, it was time for a new one.

Last week at the dragstrip, came home on a trailer, 93 z28, 82000 miles. Replaced opti with new delco, ran five minutes, died no spark. Replaced coil (15 bucks) still no spark. Now it tripped a code 41, ICM. Water pump was leaking so it needed it.

107K and runs great. Had the water pump off last month. I would have replaced it if any one had one in stock. Not readily available so I put it back on.
While I had it off I opened it up and took a look. Completely dry, no carbon tracks and looked great.
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
