Default Ebay Opti?

I know this has been discussed before but I didnt find anything...
What do you think about it?

Having a high RPM misfire when car is heat soaked and everything else I can think of is fairly new...

Should I replace the Whole Opti or just Cap N Rotor?

First I would check each wire,plugs,then coil.<---(@Night) If you do decide to change the opti make sure it's an a/c delco made in USA. Big brther went through 3 in 1yr. Goodluck

Ive tried two seperate coils and it only does it when the car sit for awhile OR if Im doing in-town driving... if I jump on hwy it cools off and runs fine..

The only one you need to consider is a genuine AC Delco/Delphi opti from "thepartsladi" on ebay.

Something on Ebay could come from anywhere. Ebay is not a brand name.

Ive also looked into Coil packs... Where is the cheapest place I can pick up the conversion? Ive looked and only found one place and it was a bit pricey..

Which one on ebay did you buy? I have a Delphi one from "thepartsladi" and it spins to 6600rpm without problems.

+1...watch out for any other company on ebay other then thepartsladi. I got schooled a while back by a company on there and ended up buying a opti that ended up not being what they said it was.
