soem coolant could have leaked ono tthe opti spark during those few months of sitting which can dammage it.

Id say go for and if it isnt the problem, you have fixed a solution that could possibly get worse as time goes by.

okay the injector stuff i said wasnt true, its true for 93, but just because you are getting a spark from the wire doesnt mean that its getting a good spark or that it is sparking everytime the rotor passes by, an opti can cause a misfire if it isnt firing correctly every pass.

never seen one fire occasionally on one cylinder...of course ive only owned 6 lt1 cars in the last 3 years, 2 of them didnt run when i got them due to opti...

put a plug into the wire and touch it to the car(ground) and see if you have a birght blue solid spark....

also did you know the rotor only goes back on one way?
