so ive been having problems for a while. the problem what the whole car was shaking. it finally went away a couple of days ago and i was very happy. yesterday, i washed my car and the shaking came back, but now its worse. i did a little research and i found out the my optispark got a little went. my question is will the shaking go away again or do i need to replace it? and if i replace it, how much might it cost? thanks and happy holidays!

 

Chances are it will get worse with time.

 

but could i dry it out with a fan and the shaking would stop?

 

There are too many electronics inside the Opti. The sparking inside the distributor creates a lot of ozone and when it combines with water corrosion takes place. You wind up with erratic timing signals to the PCM and crossfires inside of the distributor. You may want to look at the coil control module, ignition coil coil, and check all wiring and connectors going between the PCM, Opti, coil, and coil module.

 

ok but the more i drive the better it gets
