Tell ya man, dont defy me.
 Just get it tested out and REMEMBER, when you put back your cap REMEMBER to put it on NICELY, if your problem continues about RPMs jumping, you put it on wrong.

Re: enigma.
2 thigns.
1, make sure you put the silicone (anti-heat) cream on the new one nice and evenly to prevent premature death. 2, an most importantly, DO NOT get one of those damn cheapo wells ign. modules, spend the extra few bucks and get a AC/Delco replacement.

Re: enigma.
hell yeah.. we changed the ICM and the idle issues are no more hahaha. There is still a problem though. When we take off cables 1 and 2 off the distributor, you dont hear a difference like if the cylinders stopped firing. When we would take off one of the other cylinders 3-8, you would hear a difference and you could notice by the sound that the cylinder would stop firing. So yeah cylinders 1 and 2 arent firing and it isnt spark plugs or wires b.c they were changed in July. Is there a way to check if the fuel injectors are working.. I know trying to clean them will probably not help.

Well if you want you can do a compression test for FREE once again in Autozone, and maybe Orielly. So go do that, unless you wanna buy it for 80 bucks.

Re: enigma.
Compression test wont check or fix bad injectors because you disable fuel and spark to do a compression test.
There are tests you can do to test them, but since you dont have the equipment and know it's not a sparky issue i would just go ahead and replace them.

Re: Re: enigma.
You can pick up a Noid Lite to plug into the wires going to the injector to make sure they are getting a pulse. You can also do an ohm test on the injectors to make sure that the circuit is ok.

Alright.. update.. the fuel injectors are not the problem.. they were checked and are doing good. The ICM is also good so that gets it out of the way. We looked at the pick up coil and it was rusty
 I dont know if that could cause any problems but im gonna replace that.. its like 15 bucks anyway.. My friends dad singled it out to the TPS..  Does this sound reasonable considering whats been going on with my car??? Also.. when the car is cold and we lift one of the spark plug cables off the distributor (1-8) you can hear a difference since the cylinders arent firing.. BUT when the car has warmed up or has been on for a little while and we lift cylinder 1 or 2, you dont notice a difference.. its like 1 and 2 arent firing.. hmm  damn i want this shit to stop so i can drive my damn car

Your injectors are batch fire, if one is firing they all are (providing the injectors are good)
If 2 cylinders aren't firing, do a compression test on them, then replace the plugs and wires. Doesn't matter when you replaced them last, if 2 cylinders are dead and the rest checks good, they have to be the problem.

Re: enigma.
Autozone does a free compression test??? I want to do a compression test on my motor but I have taken the time to do it because if i find that the plugs are bad ill want new ones and i dont have the money at the moment.(school)

Re: enigma.
i didnt think so because that would take a bit of time to do which is understandable that they wouldnt. I still need to though....

alright.. the problem isnt mechanical.. which makes me happy knowing im not gonna have to rebuild anything soon
 but the problem is electrical which is a pain in the ass to find. There is a short circuit somewhere.. it fried 2 alternators already and is now at my uncle's shop and started the tedious process of looking for the source.. hopefully this all ends soon.
