What about that liquid tape I've heard about?

He said that GM discontinues wire harnesses after three years. I asked, well what to people do when these things require replacing. He said try to repair it?

Some black High Temp RTV sould do it all you are doing is insulating it.I doubt this is the source if it was one of the signal wires I would be more worried about it.Since it is ground the only thing that could happen is another open wire could short to it.
I seem to remember somewhere there are aftermarket harnesses available if you could find the source mabey you could get a plug from them.Boneyard is another thought.

Also, do you thing that wrapping each wire with electrical tape independently, then all four together would solve this issue?

If anyone wants this catalog, its in PDF about 2MBs, email for a copy.

The weather pack extractor is just a metal tube (with handle) that slips over the pin snugly. You wiggle it down into the connector over the pin until the pin releases from the connector. You could probably make one easily from some brass tubing (hobby store). You might be able to find the heatshrink there too.

I'll check with them tomorrow they are right around the block from me. I'll also check with NAPA too. Can you believe this NAPA list the part for the ignition coil module connector for an LT5. Ecklers has nearly every connector except this one.
Thanks

Bogus... I find this awfully interesting. While looking through the Ecklers catalog they show a picture of the Ignition Coil Module for a 92-93, and the image is rather large and clear. You can see the number on it and it is 799-2A29 (page 132 of their catalog no 205.). Now the one Chris over nighted to me has the same number on it. The two I got from Bill Heard has 799-4L10 on it.

Reguardless a ground being slightly uncovered will not cause a problem.When I said ground before I meant either an open ground or a short to ground.We have unshielded grounds all over the place at work and the plant still runs.In fact a lot of electronic conections use a ground and a unshielded drain that is connected to ground on our networks. It is not a big thing unless another wire can short to it. So what is going on did you get the new ECM in?

The Delco part number (NOT GM!) is D1971A.

That would be too easy.... and on top of that I would be kicking my *** down the street and back, because I could have waited for Chris to get it to me second day air or over night but decided since Bill Heard said they had one I could get it local. Then I'll be really pissed because they reamed me for $160. I didn't even bother to look at Ecklers either at the time, at they list for $99. So you can see if I do that and it works... well lets just say I'll need a bottle of something to calm me down.
Ok, on a serious note as if that ain't serious enough I'm going to try it just for grins.
No I haven't installed any of these new components yet, as I got side tracked with the wire harness then looking for a replacement, pigtail, or repair kit.
I'm wondering if this coil module works should I still replace the ECM anyway?
I'll be right back this won't take but a minute...

Well besides dropping a bolt for a ground connections that I had off and taking for ever to find it.
Nope it couldn't be that simple. Same thing cranks no fire. Plug the old one back in touch the starter it fires instantly.
I guess I start again in the morning, put the new coil and module on and see what happens then.
This is just absolutely crazy. It makes no logical sense!

Sorry to hear that. I agree it makes no sense.It will end up being a really simple thing I bet.Usually does when it gets this complicated.I hate to say it but it may be time to call Gordon.

1) I'm still betting the connector to the Ignition Control Module is defective -- and, it is making a poor connection to the old module and no connection to the new one.
2) Defective tach filter
3) Poor connectioin in the wiring harness in the wire from the ECM to the Ignition Control Module.

Morning Tom,
I'm just curious how or why would a defective tach filter not allow it to start with a new ICM but work with the old one?
I'm on the phone now with Ecklers trying to locate the ICM connector pig tail.
