Thats the problem i'm fixin right now. The optical eye is bad. The heat causes it to shut down the fuel and then won't turn back till it cools down. You can drive probally 5-6 miles before it dies right.

Or you guys can pm me and I can get you one with a lifetime warranty. My wife works at a pontiac dealership. They charge like 500 but i can get it for like 250 - 275. They are a goodwrench dealer so it's lifetime warranty on all parts. Let me know. What did you replace it with? was it the napa special cap and rotor.

I made the mistake of using the napa crap before. It lasted less than 4,000 miles.
