ICM's literally burning up. need help I might give that a check. When I got the car the guy said it wasn't priming... so he bypassed the relay next to the hood release. I used a toggle switch from there on out. Never been an issue. But the other day after putting the ICM on the side of the shock tower, it sat for a few hours. Came back, car did OK, till got down the street. Putting my foot on the accelerator killed it... like it was starving. Limped it hope 2 blocks away. Then switching on the pump I heard it almost squealing like a fat pig. Opened up the fuel cap and pressure blew out. So either the filter is plugged up... or could be a fuel line in the tank messed up. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

ICM's literally burning up. need help Of course if you burned the wire replace it but if you space it on the fender it may work but make sure it's grounded well also if you keep it on the head use only one washer and get thermal compound from like best buy for 10$ stuff they use for cpu's and apply a thick layer. When you space it to far away from the head it's harder for the heat to escape from the icm which burns it up twice as fast there are a few threads on here and similar forums that explain it better but I went through 4 icms in two weeks bcuz I used a half inch nut on each bolt

So after some digging... a combination of the fuel pump, and the 3 wires were the culperite. Fuel pump was replaced with a new pump and sending unit, and everything held up going on my trip to Nevada back in September. Thanks to everyone who helped out. Now onto another problem....
