I'm NOT looking forward to doing that fucking Opti...looks like a HUGE pain in the dick. You have to take 400 fucking plastic pieces off the front of the fucking engine bay, take out the rad, pull the waterpump, extract the harmonic balancer...

AARGGGHHH!

If I do it myself, it can be done for under $200...if I take it somewhere, it's like $1500+

Really hoping it's something stupid.
I replaced my Optispark with an MSD vented unit a couple of years ago when I had a leaky waterpump. My original Optispark was fine, and I still have it. I just replaced it as preventative maintenance. I'm not sure if my old one would help much with your troubleshooting, but if you think it will, we can talk.

Also, if you do decide to do the Optispark yourself, it's not "that" bad a job. I have some tips and pointers I can give you that will make the job infinitely easier.
