Bad Ignition Control Module
I have a 90 IROC-Z w/ a 350. This is the 3rd ignition control monitor I have had to replace due to it going bad. If there was a short going to the ICM...where or what would I check for a short...the Ignition coil has 12 volts going to....but the ICM module itself checks out bad....when I test it...it only has .3 volts going to it. Last time I replaced it...it fired right up...30 miles later...it died again. Replaced it again and same thing. What would keep the ICM going bad....also has a brand new distributor on it. Please advise

Yes...they were both brand new distributors with new ICM's.

Are you talking about the grounds that go to the block?

Re: Bad Ignition Control Module
Are there any ECM wires that run to the ignition control module or coil?
