There is also a tan and a blck wire that may be staying high. You see if that car will run all day long without missing a beat, but not start after a 240 seconds of running, that points to an iffey AIC, or that Ign module. It has two parts. One that starts the car (the part I think is bad). And the part that is a solid state relay so that the ECM, the coils, and all the sensor data can get passed to where it needs to go. And just so that you know, the white wire that comes out of that is the wire that goes to the instrument panel for the tach.
Before I would go dumping water all over the place…….. You can buy what is called component cooler at radio shack. It also goes by the name Freeze It. If the zit face kid working there has no clue, just ask the Manager or look around the soldering irons, etc. The can is about 8$ and just a tinny little shot will cool anything down. I don’t think that it would work on the ignition module because all the important parts are hidden inside a box filled with that silicon snot stuff. In any event if you look behind the plastic cover on the passenger side, you can give a 3-5 second burst of that cool it to just the cam or the crank sensor to make sure that is or is not the problem. Without having water go all aver the place. It is hard to trouble shoot your car 1000 miles away banging on these greasy keys, But I think that we can muddle our way through this.

Before the day that I purchased a good scan tool, you would not believe how many hrs I spent with my O scope finding the problems

I have finally got someone to put on another coil pack and board, in fact 2, and its still doing the same thing...wont crank once it gets hot and not it hot outside too takes 6 to 8 hrs sometimes to cool enough to crank, any other suggestions??? im going crazy here...
