  1. The ignition module is why I have my car, saved from scrapyard. Original module was failing in hot conditions, summertime in traffic and AC on. Owner tried multiple parts and parked it for good. First thing I did was swap out for delco system. Had to get a different mounting bracket from local yard. Stick to OEM parts, top of the engine is a rough environment. Car was running perfectly after that until weather warmed up. The original crank sensor had been swapped for non-primo chinesium and as soon as I drove it on a hot day it lost the x18 signal pickup, which kills the car hard. Had it towed back home (it had gone about a mile before heat failure) and swapped in an OEM sensor, working like a charm since. And do use some thermal compound on the bracket-to-module mounting, it helps heat-sink the components which they appreciate by not leaving you stranded on the roadside. I used some spare cpu sink compound I had but I think some car parts stores carry a product for that. Copper based antiseize would probably work
