SOMEBODY HELP ME!

OKAY. I got the car to turn over again. O0 BUT it still doesn't run right. It's not the ICM so don't bother suggesting that, because I replaced it and there's nothing wrong with my old one (put it in my buddy's Cobra and it ran right down the street.) So... I guess distributor... unfortunately, considering the money I've already had to put into replacing the starter and all its wiring. If anyone else has any ideas that don't involve the distributor, hit me with them.

You replaced the starter? Recently? Well think of that as money well spent if youre gonna be keeping the stang
for a while, cause a new part on your car is almost always better than an old one. O0

I say just replace the distributor man, it'll do you good i bet, just hit up that autozone so youre spending $90 instead
of $450 at the dealership. ???

Let us know how it goes bro.

Yea, I guess that's the only choice I have. We're gonna pull my buddy's distributor and drop it in mine before I go buy one to check. I'm tired of replacing parts, I just want it to be done.

Start checking your battery cables.

We ran new battery cables and put a new starter in (I broke the other new one I had... accidentally... oops. >

Yay warranty) Anyway, the car runs now... up on the jackstands it wasn't gettin gas and didn't wanna fire, I put it down today, suspecting that, and for the moment it runs like a champ. Hopefully it'll stay that way. :noes:

NOPE. I was wrong. ICM didn't fix shit. I've been running around with my old ICM and it's been fine for 3 days, well I take it to the parking garage tonight to avoid the hail, and when I go back to get it, it doesn't run. Well, happen to have the new ICM in a box, swap it, changes nothing. No spark at the coil. So here's my question... is there anyway that the distributor can affect the spark at the coil?

I NEED HELP LIKE TONIGHT.
