If the other two coils are firing, that means the crank sensor is ok....the fact 1/4 isn't firing, even with a new coil, means the ICM is bad.....AGAIN!

What kind of ICM'* have you been using?

Well, I see this happen a lot.....remove from vehicle and it tests out ok....put back in the car and it fails....even you said it ran fine for a minute.....

One thing you did not mention was the wires/plugs.......are they new?
