I took the ignition module off today and took it to the local parts store to have it tested...the test showed it was bad....I put the new one on and went on about an hour test drive....It drove great, no loud ticking noises, no loss of power! hopefully my problem is finally resolved!

And it only took about 2 mins to take it off and 3 mins to put back on....a 5 min fix has been giving me hell for a month now!

was it missing aswell? mine has a lumpy idle somtimes and it misses at around 2000 rpm.
im thinking it might have a bad plug. would it be the coil pack?

I couldn't get it to pull up...we only get dial-up where I live....the best way I can desribe it is like putting a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle.
