Although this may not apply to your problems now, solid core spark leads 
and even spiral wrapped leads usually cause a lot of problems for the 
ecm. A quick fix that usually works with the spiral wrapped wires at 
least is to use a piece of regular resistance (carbon core) spark wire 
for the distributor-coil HV lead.
