    Ok so I got the key to turn. Thank you all very much.

    Anyways I'm looking up how to change my ICM and all the issue everyone is associating with a bad ICM are not the problems I'm having. Just want to be sure before I start swapping random parts with money I barely have

    theres a small bolt in the middle of the wire harness to the icm. 6 mm iirc, then take the bolts that hold the coils on off, re move the coils, then the icm will lift right off.

    Ok I have the money for the ICM. Borg warner, $150 from o reilys.

    My concern is that I'm not experiencing any of the problems usually associated with a bad ICM. Are you sure its what I need?

    i got one for sale, got it listed for 20. used works best, or hit a local junk yard for one. that $180 is to much money to test a part out really.

    oem parts work best, and cost less.

    after market sensors dont always agree with our cars too. on top of that 180 price tag. im sure you could find something better to spend that extra 160 bucks on lol

    ill pm you here.
