RobertISaar Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 ESC: electronic spark control: basically everything ICM related.... almost sounds like you transposed the 2 and 4 when reading codes.... but hey, i could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Suppose it's possible! It would make a lot more sense if that's the issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9lumina6 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm waiting on an icm/coil set in the mail. I'll let you know if it works. You are first on the list though for buying it. Please know the shape this car is in is not perfect. The red paint is in poor shape, black is good. HAs it's fair share of dents, ac doesn't work, radio works rarely, parking brake doesn't work, tires are dry rotting. BUT I have been DDing it and it has proven very reliable and super fun to drive. I will throw in a bunch of parts if they are still in my previous landlords basement. Yeah I've seen pics of exactly how it is from Al. I was very close to buying it off him just before you traded him the 89 for it. I'm aware of most of the flaws on it. I just think it would be a fun car to bum around town in and to work on sparingly on the side. I've always wanted a 5 speed W for as long as I've owned W-body's. As long as it can make it from Missouri to WNY that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This it does very well, I drove it a lot more than that and it did great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson480 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 did you ever get it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 did you ever get it fixed Yes sir, I replaced the coils and ICM together as a set with a used set and it completely solved the issue, So I don't know if it was the ICM or the coils. But it was one of the two for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson480 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 oh okay, my dad used to have a 92 GP SE with the LQ1, after doin valve seals at 60K it would rev and cut out just as you described, he went in circles trying to figure it out because it would idle fine, but cut out and die just as yours did, and it was the ICM and coil packs, but this happened back in 1995 or 6 when the car had 60K miles!

Addicted to eaton Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 If it just Cuts out and dies. its normally a ICM, If it just Stutters But runs fine under normal driving its normally a Plug, or Plug wire. But could also be a coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
