you say you got your car fixed now.... right... so the problem all along was the ground to the igniter... do you have pics of the ground wire... is it the little plug with a relay attached with two wires the ground wire???
No see the ignitor grounds itself through the bracket that it mounts to in the engine bay, I didnt have the bracket so I had to make my own and it was only bolted to one hole, so I made a ground wire and hooked it to the other hole.

huh i dont get it... do you have pics of it... and so if the ignitor isnt grounded well enough then your car would start hesitating or acting the way it was around so and so rpms???
My sack of replaced bad capacitors is getting bigger every week. Two ecu's this week, one was really bad where the copper trace was corroded away, along with the leg of one of the capacitors. It's not the only thing that can possibly go wrong, but it's so common that it's one of the top problems on the list. Usually when the engine runs great for a period of time, then starts running like crap seemingly for no reason, it's the ecu. 90% of the time, new capacitors alone fixes the problem.
