What we need to find an old DIS and send it off to an ECM rebuilder to see if it can be re-furbed. Such as redoing all the solder joints and replacing any questionable components. I had old TV repair shops do this for me in the past with great success.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the DIS does? Does the ECM not send any type of signal to the coils?
Billy DIS is an Acronym (Distributerless Ignition System) This is the LT5s electronic Distributer that is pancaked on the underside of the Plenum. If it dies. Your done.
