Make sure you let the shop know what your suspicions are so they don't overlook those things.

they think its a bad icm and ordered one today. They thought they could fix it today, but they never called me back after the intital call. Didnt help I couldnt give them the go until around 1-2 PM. If its not the icm, they can return it which is something I couldnt do. Hopefully she'* back tomorrow.

Just got the car back. It had a bad ICM, and a a coil that went out on me on my way to the shop. Everything was replaced with acdelco, so hopefully they will last a while. This ended up being a $550 pain in the arse on a car I dont plan to keep very much longer. It was 450 for the Mechanics total, and then the other $100 comes from the coil, plugs, and wires I replaced before taking it in. Also, like Bill said, ICM tests arent accurate.
