well, i was driving down the highway and my car suddenly dies. it would not start back up. it turns over but does not start. i popped the hood to see if something came loose somehow but everything seemed alright. no loose wires/hoses, no burning smells. i tried to get it to go into limp mode, but the car would not start at all. the rail was getting gas so i doubt its a pump or anything like that. im fairly certain its either the opti or the icm. the car showed no signs of problems before, however, which makes me think it might be the icm. waited nearly an hour for the tow truck to get there, i was hoping the icm would have cooled and allowed me to start it, but still nothing. anybody have an idea of what this could be?

Any codes? Have the PCM scanned...not all DTCs set the SES light.

Some auto parts stores will test the coil and ICM for free; its worth a shot.

Autozone does test the icm even if they tell you they don't, the same thing happened to me going down the highway, runnin like a raped ape and then nothing.
