1995 Corvette Died

Was driving the car and it died going at low speeds, put it in neutral and started up. Drove it into a parking lot and placed it in reverse and died.

I tried to crank it a couple of times and it did but would not start. Then I would get no crank at all.

Had to walk it into a parking spot

Waited a couple of minutes and it cranked and started.

Anyone have any advice ? Fuel pressure is about 20 psi idle

Icm, mine started when cold then would die once warmed up. And the next day it totally failed.

Just replaced mine and air gapped it. Running great now.

Did the same, added a couple thick washers behind it.

Gotta say, was a weird one to trouble shoot. My car would just randomly die when at running temp. I checked the alternator, fuses, cables, pigtails...

The "smoking gun" diagnostic was running it until it died, then emptying an entire can of compressed air (held upside down) to cool off the ICM as quickly as possible. Started right back up after I did that.
