Looks like my Opti. crapped out Posted By: dboy2 On: 03-11-2009 @ 17:59:17 Reply | Edit I've got spark going into the Opti. but doesn't seem to have any coming out. Fuel pressure is good at Shrader Valve. Is it a bad idea to try and only replace the Cap & Rotor? Thanks in advance. Posted By: Calaban007 On: 03-11-2009 @ 20:52:08 Reply | Top | Edit I did mine the month after I got my car. That was 6 years ago. It really depends. Most people will tell you to do the complete opti, but if the optical setup isn't broken I'd say save the money. If it turns out to be the opti you still have a new cap and rotor to put on it. But, it's going to be hard to tell unless the tip of the rotor is broken off, if it's the cap/rotor or Opti. Is your SES light on? If so, have you pulled the codes? --

its better to go ahead and replace the whole unit -- lsxltx.com Posted By: cunningham On: 03-12-2009 @ 17:38:41 Reply | Top | Edit it would be stupid not to -- 95 camaro Z28 stock for now but a 383 is in the works Posted By: Calaban007 On: 03-12-2009 @ 19:25:12 Reply | Top | Edit When/if you get the whole Opti, make sure you get a GM replacement. I hear the aftermarkets aren't real good. I put a cheap Autozone cap and rotor on mine. At the time they were 130 bucks. Good Luck --

It has a screw to adjust ignition timing +/-7 degrees. I installed one on my car last year and have not had one problem with it. it greatly improved my throttle response. That would be the way to go.
