I have a 96 talon TSi and have now replaced the ICM twice. They both went out in the same way, middle of the day at a higher rpm in 1st gear and then boom it starts running on what feels like two cylinders. Whenever I replace it the problem is fixed but I don't know whats causing the same module to keep failing? Other than that it always runs great... problem only started to occur once it got hot outside. Can anybody help with some suggestions? Thanks
 
Got my injectors back and put them on. The misfire is gone. FIC said hat injector 3 was not clogged as they test them before cleaning. So I don't know exactly what the issue was, maybe the injector seals, as they changed those too? Thanks for your help!

I have one more problem left - my idle is a bit higher than normal - about 900rpm. I did a vacuum leak test with cigarette smoke, and the only place I found a leak was at the TPS and a little puff from the BIS screw. The leak is probably small as the RPMs don't go over 950 or so and I can get 24-25 psi boost. I had one episode where I could not get boost over 15, but after a while the boost came back and has been fine since. So if the issue is not very serious, could I just adjust the Idle from the BIS screw?
 
I replaced the connector and the unit. Mine went out 2 years ago and no problem yet.
ended up just being a broken clip on the connector and it would pop out...but the module would go bad too. Fixed it though so it's all good LOL
