Yea, it was a shot in the dark, it let me know my opti was bad so it was not a total loss, the original one wouldnt even let the car start.

ha. my old formula, the opti would cut out randomly. only once per run itd do it. id start it up, go down the road a bit. downshift, floor it, get it to about 4k rpm, the car would die, then it would start right back up where it left off.... ONLY ONCE per run time. if i turned it off, then on, it would do it again. really ****** weird.

Well, one day... driving home from school, it did it, but it didnt pick up again. bitch died on me

I popped it open, COVERED in rust. lasers dont like rust

Yea, the second one was covered in dry film that looked like it was doused in coolant.
