Default same old question. is it the opti?

car is a 94 convert 6 speed. has all new plugs, wires, coil, tune up etc done in the past few months. car was fine last night then i got caught in HEAVY rain drove through it for about 5 minutes then parked the car and went into a store. came out 15 minutes later and started car and its now hesitating and missing. sat outside in the sun all day and still same problem. so is it the opti? idk what else it could be, esecially because it happened after driving though heavy rain. if it is, wheres the best place to get a genuine acdelco opti? i dont want an msd or any cheap aftermarkets. thepartsladi store is empty, so where would be my best option? id like to spend under 350 if thats possible? thanks!

Don't sound good for the opti. You need a factory service manual and follow the chart. Pull codes DTC 36 and DTC 16 are bad opti codes. Jegs and Summit Have good selection of Opti $350. won't be enough for the GM #10457702 it's $520. MSD is $475. it's vented. I think yours is a non-vented. Shop around good luck ,Tim

I installed the MSD and am very happy with it. I think it's worth the extra cost.
