03Alerosil is on a distinguished road
I think I finally figured out what's going on with my car. I noticed I have a lot of issues when it's wet out which automatically made me think an ignition issue. Well as it would turn out there is a connector on the ICM with a purple and a yellow wire going to it that was partially melted to the rear exhaust manifold. Loom is melted or so brittle its falling off. Well I looked up the wiring diagram for it on my repair software. Turns out the yellow and the purple wire are the outputs from my crank sensor! So that explains a lot. That means the signal from my crank sensor was grounding out before it ever reached the ignition module. SO i am picking up a pigtail today and installing it tomorrow when the engine is cold and hoping for the best. I sure hope this fixes it because I've done everything else and tested everything else. I am about ready to scrap my Alero.
