Default 97 wont start!!! shoebox help needed

long story short Car dies. it cranks but it makes no spark. replaced coil and icm (duralast) from advance auto. car fired up and ran good for two days then it dies again. took icm plug out and with key on I got 00.6v on dc scale on the pink and green wire lol. I unbolted coil from the head for inspection,then I put it back and my readings from icm green and pink wire were 11.X on dc scale and the bird fired right up and then it shut off after half of a minute. Iam at lost lol and guys be nice english is my second language lol

If readings change after your hands have been on the wiring, check the wiring and connectors closely for problems.

If you want my help personally, email me. Otherwise, if you call out a person on the board, no one else will be apt to respond and that will limit your chances of getting advice that may help you. There are lots of people out there with good ideas.
