I'm slide closer to no, if you're saying the ICM case popped like an old radio battery. ICM is more like a low voltage trigger brain, If it popped it probably didn't have the insolation/Dielectric grease on installation

another question do you happen to know what volts the wires on the coil should read? because i believe i might have a short happening causing my coils to blow as soon as i crank it

Not without a manual but the pink wire on the L-98 style is 12 off the top of the head and it's probably the same for the rest everything else might be 5 reference voltage, and what year car.

If I remember correctly it should be under coil and going to the plug out area, it only goes in 1 way so if it fits it good

I can't say, I have never heard of a pretty stout foolproof component that self destrucs in one turn.
Let's go back to beginning, we have a happy running car then something changes. Did it break it breakdown or was there a maintenance repair and now we have today.

i took it for about 1 hour drive to and back from a place then when i started it up the next day it started then randomly cut off while i was warming it up, before this about 3 days before i pumped out the transmission fluid and while using the transfer pump some squirted out on top of the distributor cap but we cleaned it up so do you think that could be the problem?

ATF on top don't think that's an issue you would have to dunk it in a bucket, a splash a wipe not an issue.
I am sure you have already done this but if you put anything in or took apart reinspect your work that all parts are in and in correct place, this includes a good look at were the IAC port is that it hasn't been pinched or chafed though like you said you feel there's a short
