Default My car eats Opti's!!

i have a 93 firebird a4... i had my optispark relace in june with a brand new acdelco unit, at the same time i did the water pump, head gaskets, and exhaust gaskets. and in august my optispark went out again... so it was taken out and had some moisture in it. so i got a new one, and replaced the coil too.. now last week the car started missing and acting the exact same way it did before just now its doind it in the lower rpm range when its hot, plus it idles where ever it wants, and will stall after coming to a stop occasionally it does the problem when its hot and runs fine when cold... is there anything that can be causing my optispark to go bad?? or am i just gettin one with moisture in them from the parts company?? or is it something else this time like my icm, or 02 sensor??

That's why the 95's and above went to a vented opti.
Sounds like the opti is getting moisture in it.

"Moisture" the number one opti-killer.. Go vented and you won't go back.
