The reason I'm asking is that since I put a custom intake on my car, this piece is hanging loose in the air and today I had a cylinder 3 missfire.. I don't know if they are maybe related..

You know what viking, sometimes I really think you're trying to help the issues and other times I think you comment just to get your post count higher.. My question was: Would the fact that the ICM is hanging loose and not being connected to anything affect my engine in anyway and possibly have anything to do with my 3rd cylinder missfire problem??? and look at what your answer is to me: you could just make a small bracket to moutn it on if it bugs you that much..

Anyway thanks I guess..

no fighting.
if its not mounted it could be thrown around and be damaged. i would clear the code. mount it and see if you have the same problem

Thanks jeff, I'll zip tie it to or mount it so it doesn't shift around. To clear the codes all I do is unplug the negative end on the battery for a period of time right?

sorry, i misread what you said, i actually was tying to help, which i usually do

and a misfire caused by the icm is almost always on cyl # 2 (i have no idea why)

but i dont see how it hanging loose would create that problem, i've seen tons of pics of peoples engine bay and its just hanging there
