No...been running through items and it is either the ICM/coils or i have another bad injector that shorts and shuts things down. The plan is to drop the ICM/coils, replace the ICM and resistance test the coils. All of the post-to-post resistance are the same from coil to coil (~5.5 ohms) so, unless the other circuit in the coil is bad, i don't think its the coils. I have a friend of mine that will warranty swap my ICM no questions asked and the 5 good injectors that i took out last weekend are going back in with one of the best of the 6 injectors that i picked up at the yard last weekend. And with it being my birthday weekend and having company here i may not get to it this weekend but will for sure get things done early next week. I'll keep you all informed!!!

UPDATE:

Short story...SHE RUNS WITH NO PROBLEMS NOW!!! (so far)

Long story...repaced the ICM and tested the resistance on the coils. Coils were good and i left them alone. I also left the 6 'new' injectors in. In addition to the ICM i ended up replacing a two month old battery - wouldn't hold a charge for more than a couple of days. SO...i'll be driving more and more on longer and longer trips to see if there are any other issues. At this point, i have NONE!!! :Yahoo!: :good:

Peg, i hope this helps you out somehow and i wish we lived closer so i could help out.

Did you have the ICM tested to see if that was it?

ICM would test fine everytime. The guy at AZ ran it throught the test about a dozen or so times. It would get warm during the test but never anywhere near the temps that it gets sitting under the exhaust manifold IMO.
