Ok, Ok, I Know I've been gone for a while... but HELP
Ok... So I've been internetless for the better part of a year now (it sucks)..
Heres the deal. I bought a 92 Buick Park Avenue... (L27), 120k on it...
It runs MINT, unless its hot out. Then under acceleration the engine cuts in and out like its losing spark. I checked fuel pressure, it was right where it should be... So the only other thing I can think of is the ICM...
Am i on the right track ? Anything else i Should look for? It'* getting worse, and I need to figure this out before I get stranded somewhere lol..
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks Guys

No, Its the Delco Ignition..... It completely cuts out if you accelerate, but if you let off the gas, It comes right back.
ALSO, I forgot to mention , when it starts doing this, If i turn the ignition off and start it back up, It'* fine for a while again...

KNow anyone that you could borrow an ICM from?
I had one fail with heat... After a 20 miles drive it would do momentary cut outs... If I floored the h*** out of it, it would again pick up and go... It was freaky... I replaced the ICM and the problems have never returned..
