have replaced new plat delco plugs, wires and coils on my 03. want to change the module.
the delco is probably the way to go but are there any others as good.not an
airtex fan.
the problem is a low rpm miss under load. this car at 56000 has had more probs
than my 01 did at 150,000 plus. even th 01 trans was a lot better. i did the trans kit
and it still might jerk from a stop sign. just waiting for it to take a dump. does shift better
into drive though.
any help or opinions appreciated

Re: best ignition module
You do not want platinum plugs in a waste spark application, so get those out of there and replace them with iridiums.
A used ICM would be best, ask Andrew for one. Otherwise, stick to Delco.

Re: best ignition module
I agree, used OEM is better then any aftermarket. Looks like you have two Bonnevilles, swap the module from one to the other to verify before buying.

Re: best ignition module
You can test your TPS with a volt meter, don't just fire the parts cannon at it.
