i changed plug wires and plugs and the one coil where i didn't have no fire , new coil still has no fire,, a week ago this started when i noticed the DIS fuse was burnt,,,,, and ideas? The deal in back the coils is only about 1000 miles old ..

Agreed.  Remove your ICM and have it tested.

I'm sure that will fix it. 6k is a lot of loot for a TGP, I'd be tempted too, especialy for starting a small business...thought you mention about a detailing. Cocky GTO driver, Don't worry, he prob doesn't talk about how a heavy ass turbo diesel truck beat him. We seam to focus the TGP as a Drag car, but the Pikes and peak and daytona tgp seam to stear it to a coarse car.,,pro touring . Not saying the TGP isn't a fun drag car. Got to go with a 4t65hd or the 4t80 im trying to shoehorn for drag racing with slicks.

Gto is suppose to have around 400 crank hp. But alas , it's effing heavy but still manages 13s with a decent driver. If he can't drive for shit, Chinese tires,  you could beat him with a "top gun" modded tgp on drag radials. Granted he doesn't spin out of control taking you out too.

$6K...............If he doesnt buy yours I'll sell him a TGP & TSTE for that much.   Sell, Sell, Sell!!!    You can pick up another one for $1K and put $3K in mods on it, and spend the remaining $2K on the new business.

On one of my cars, one of the connections came undone (on the ICM) and wouldnt do anything, took me a few hours to find it.

Yes, the one closest to the turbo.  Drilled a small hole in the DIS and zip tied it on.  On a side note I also took the backing plate off and applied reflective tape to the back of it to try and keep the heat off the ICM, also only reinserted two of the three bolts as they are a real pain to get to.

HTH

Should I ask about the game last night since I am in AL going to a school currently?

Where the arrows are for #'s 1,2 & 3 I drilled small holes and inserted a small zip tie before installing, once on the car after the wires were hooked up I zip tied them in place since the weatherpac connectors were broken and would became loose.

Double check to make sure you are not drilling through any wires when drilling.
