Yep, just to give a final update, my strange ingnition miss was solved by replacing the Accel opti (less than 500 miles on it, BTW). Post mortem on the opti showed NO Locktite on the rotor screws, and the rotor screws had backed out. 1 completely fell out and was rattling around down in the cap, while the other had backed out enough for the sensor wheel underneath to clock 90* off from where it was supposed to be. Amazingly, the rotor stayed on and continued to function distibuting the now off-time spark.

Lesson learned here: Always check your new opti, regardless of manufacturer to insure the rotor screws are Loctited

 

I locktite the screws on all optis.

When I had the Accel opti, not only was the 360 segment pulse wheel windows irregularly shaped and rubbing the optical sensor. There were sparks jumping out of the traces in the cap and into the water pump.

Accel opti is $hit.

 

I have had great luck with opti's from "Thepartsladi" on ebay.

 

everybody has, they are oem units from gm

 

Looks like their shop is cleaned out. Not sure what happened.

 

wow, that is crazy, looks like she just stopped shipping parts but kept taking money too. wonder if something happened to her

where to get gm opti's now? is that guy still around that used to be on here

 

I bought mine from them 3-4 weeks ago. I had to email them through ebay since they didn't have any optis listed. There're "no ship" complaints on them now?

 

Wow, just checked their ebay feedback 29 negs in the past 30 days, all for "no ship". Dayum, I guess I just got lucky to get mine from them

 

Im a little concerned, I ordered an opti from her in the past 2 weeks and got it rather quickly.

Is it possibly not a GM one? How can I tell?

 

i orderd one from her 3 weeks ago also and i have got nothing!!!! no emails not trac # NOTHING!

 

Hope you PayPal'd (or used a CC), at least you'll get your $ back...eventually

 

ya i used paypal! thank god for that...i filed a claim to get my money back! sux that it had to come to that...i called the numbers today on my order form to see what was wrong, and they both told me that she has just left without a trace? the manu. that ships to her told me that they have not been paid for some of the items she has sold!!! THEY were the ones that told me to contact paypal so i could get my money back!
