Was cranking the starter to find Top Dead Center, my friend had his finger over the #1 spark plug hole...(since he is a smoker, when I saw the smoke coming from near his hands, I was not too surprised) BUT then I saw it was coming from the ICU.
I think someone had switched the wires coming to the coil and....SIGH!!!
I am redoing the timing belt to make sure it has not jumped a tooth or two.
Are teh ICU's tough enough to withstand smoking?? Or did I fry it?
I have a spare one but for an automatic tranny, mine is a standard. Will it work?
Thanks for any imput,
el Raidman
