Why is this doing this?
I have replaced by ICM (Ignition control module) about 4 times within the last 2 months. I get in it and the motor just turns and turns. No spark. Pop in a new one and fire right up. Do you guys think I have a short somewhere? Thanks

Which ones are you buying?
Better yet, are you making sure you aren't overheating them, by making sure there is good clean contact between the ICM and the distributor body, with the heatsink compound in between?
