Does it run good for the 15 mins?
Trying to diagnose problems with a ignition box is hard, leave it out.
If it runs good, suspect heat soak for the ICM.
Opti usually has some signs of miss after so many rpms, a stumble ect.

Yeah it runs fine then its like someone shuts off the ignition. It doesnt seem to miss. I have the msd box removed right now and it runs good for about 15 min then it just shuts off. If I plug the msd box in it will only run for a few min then die. Maybe something to do with the higher voltage?
