Well I think my opti blew up.

Cars been having surging problems. Took the car to work, went wot, car starting surging and then had a loud backfire then the car died. Fuel prssure is nice and high and never dropped. So my new walbaro is kicking.

Now the car just cranks, don't think its producing spark(havent checked yet).

Either way i was putting it off utnil i knew it was for sure, but I think i have my sign lol

Re: Well I think my opti blew up.

MSD coil is brand new, did the surging before and afther the swamp. I also got a new ICM.

Like I said i havent acutlly testing anything yet, don't know if its producing spark or anything.

I do know it had pressure, had the fuel gauge on the car.

Re: Well I think my opti blew up.

I have spark from the coil, but i do not have spark from teh wires.

So the opti isnt giving out the spark, what would cause this? the roter?

Im going to do some research on more testing, but if you guys got some good advice for testing or what you think let me know.
