Default '95 LT1 Ignition Module

Anyone know which is the correct ignition module for a '95 LT1; a
D1986A or a D1905E...both Delco. Everyone lists both of them.

Thanks,
Lanny

I checked gmpartsdirect.com: they listed only the the D1986A, so I ordered that one. I know it will fit...sure hope that this is the fix for the problem.

Thanks

Have posted several times about the problem having with this '95. Have FSM and tomorrow I will be logging the data on my laptop when the engine begins to cut-out, followed by reving-up, followed by stalling. I do not think its the igntion module as I put the one from my
'96 and it did the samething. But...thought I would try this as the last remaining part to change-out. Very curious as to what the data is going to show tomorrow.

Could either be the ignition, the opti , or the fuel pump.

I know its not the fuel pump...watched the fuel pressure when this was happening....steady pressure.

Changed out the OptiSpark unit twice....

Error codes the last two times have been ignition module....plus ASR once and Vehicle Speed Sensor last time.

Have to see what happens tomorrow.

Kind of sounds like a sticking EGR valve.

My bet is on the ICM. I had the same problems and codes and the ICM caused my problem.

My '94 was misfiring at idle. I took the ICM off, cleaned the module and heatsinks of all the dirt and gunk. Applied the dialectric grease and reinstalled.

No more misfire.

Keep a suspect eye on your coil, too. If it goes ****-up without warning (like mine did) it could take your ICM out with it, resulting in an IMMEDIATE crank, no-start condition.

The engine starts and runs great...until the engine coolant stays around 225-230 degrees due to traffic of just idleing. Something gets hot and then it starts the cutting-out thing....followed a few minutes later by the engine revving-up and cutting-out, bucking.....then it stalls. Wait 30 minutes and all is fine.....until whatever it is, gets hot again. Its the revving-up that I do not understand what it could be other than the PCM.

Changed the coil several months ago thinking it might be it...but it was not.

Thought for sure it was the PCM, sent out for repair and nothing was found, sent it back again, was sent a different one, problem still there, although got different error codes with this PCM. Sent out again and nothing wrong was found.

I mentioned that I tried the Igniiton Module from my '96 although it has a different part number, problem was the same. That is why I initially ruled out the Ignition Module being the problem, but thought I would replace it anyways as a last resort.

I'm really watching this because I'm having similar issues.

I've changed/done about everything mentioned here already. Mine doesn't run that warm though. It just seems to have to run for about 10-15 minutes and then it starts. It's more of a lope when it is in drive sitting still. Turning the AC on makes it stop. It doesn't idle bad when in neutral. Sometimes changing a part seems to fix it but it just comes back later on.

I have a pretty healthy warm miss with my 94' but have yet to take any action on it. I am wondering if the previous poster may not be right about the EGR. Although you will of course get a code, I would try disconnecting the EGR and see what you get. I have seen catalytic converters swell under heat and cause a greater restriction. You may try pounding on yours with your fist to see if you get a good rattle out of it. It may not be clogged but any additional back pressure may be forcing a weak EGR open.

Just a few thoughts.

Thanks for the thought but new EGR and highflow cats also. I'm really leaning toward the opti.

You said you were going to be recording with your laptop. If you can pull live data, please post warm idle, 2500rpm, and if possible when this occurs.

Since your problems occur only during "closed" loop operation, have you considered your O2 sensors ? (even though no codes are thrown in this direction) ......
