opti spark
I have been chasing electrical ghosts for six months, finally got tired and paid a shop 350.00 and they fixed all of the interior lights/pke/alarm issues I had. I get it home, two days later I blow a hole in the radiator line......which soaked the engine compartment...I wash off the coolant with as low pressure water I can get out of the hose......now, I have replaced the hose and she won't fire up........It sat for a week while I ordered the hoses and then waited until I had time to install them......I figured the optispark got wet.....which is why it was coughing and choking as I pulled into the driveway when the hose blew. I have read about putting a blow dryer on the optispark....is there any other tips, short of replacing the optispark? my wife was so good not to yell when the last repair came to 350.00. I need a good/cheap fix for this problem. I have a 93 LTI. any help would be great
