About two months ago my CB broke down and wouldnt start due to no spark, so I thought it might have been the distributor cap, rotor, ignition coil, or spark plugs, I replaced all of those and no start, so then the last thing was the ignition control module which I then replaced and bam it started!! It was running great for about a week but after that when I would get in high rpms (above 3k) it would start to almost surge but it was different, acceleration would cut out and sometimes my car would just die, so I thought it had something to do with timing so I timed it, that didn't work either, so I cleaned the IAV valve ... Nothing. It is definitely something with missing a cylinder but I'm not sure what to do anymore. What parts do I need to replace?? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

It sounds like you need to stop replacing parts and start diagnosing. From what you have explained you might have something going on with your fuel system. When is the last time you replaced your fuel filter? Are you getting good fuel pressure? -
Is your check engine light on? That would be your first thing to check.
Read the thread at the top of this section with the title "read here first" (nobody ever does.) It addresses surging idle, as well as a CEL code.
But yes, stop "fixing" things that you don't KNOW to be wrong!

Check voltage at fuel pump (you can probe wires to the pump.) Check fuel filter, check output voltages at ECU to the ICM.Comment

Its not wise to just throw money at things unless you know the culprit behind it. Google or use the first post to check codes then go from there.Comment

Lol, homie how are you going to say all that and leave out its throwing code? Most definitely check the code.Originally posted by G102294G View Post
Where in Denver you at? Let me know, we are probably close enough if you need some help.

Did you replace the distributor yet? there is no cure for code 9 the dizzy will need replaced like said above.
Also a loose or short in the injector wiring and clip can cause a CYP cel, i've had it happen 3 times no need for a mechanic just yet IMO.
