Dave, thanks, repleced the coil about 1/12 ago, but you know parts can go bad quick.

I hope is the coil, I hate to change the fuel pump.

well as we all say...need to figure out if it is a fuel delivery problem or spark.if it dies quick i would lean torwards spark.but still..is it throwing any codes?does the ses light even flicker,come on then off?still sounds electronic.too bad you werent closer.i have a spare icm and coil.changed those when i had an opti issue but kept the old ones.

Dave

I have 3 trouble codes, but I don't think they are the reason, PO141, Po441 and P1371. What you think? I cleared the codes yesterday and I have been driving around the block just in case it quicks on me, but the SES still off.

Now, the engine is running rough. I like this car but is getting to my nerve and I'm ready to use my sledge hammer.

There you have the code breakdown.one i would worry about is the "low resolution code".That is usually the opti.which can also cause other random codes to show.When my opti was going out it threw those codes along with a few more,but the underlying problem was the opti.once it was replaced(by me)all other codes went away.Dont wanna be the pessimist but low resolution indicates "opti".
