Bigdog-

Based on your description of the old module I'd say you found your problem. Awesome, glad you got it fixed in time to get out there and enjoy the lake!

No question that old module was a bad design, not sure if it's something that is unique to just Merc or if Volvo suffers from the same flaw. They do after all use the same 4.3L Chevy engine. How much similarity there is between the two would be interesting to know. I can't imagine the ignition systems are all that different between the two. What ever the case the new design is far and away superior to it's predecessor.
