Re: Help!! 96 Sizzler

omc has issues with coil and brain ground wires after overheating the plastic melts and loosens the ground connections between the plastic and the block,, if the coils don't ground properly they can cause the brain to burn out,, tell him to remove the coils and clean the ground connections and do the same for the brain,, the brain box may have gone bad but try cleaning the ground wires first.
