Ignition module questions
 
Recently I changed my coils, plugs, and wires and I'am most likely going to be replacing the control module soon, however on the ICM thats still there, I managed to break a head off the bolt. I can get it out luckily, but my question is can you use any bolt or do I have to go scavenge for a Saturn specific bolt (or would they come with a new ICM)?

"The ignition control module gets it ground through the four mounting bolts and the wire harness. Not the plate at the bottom that makes contact with the transmission casing. That's used as a heatsink."

Replaced the bolt, Your right about the grounding issue, car hauls now. I had two bolts not in correctly, both of the top bolts, one I had snapped off and the other I forgot the plug aligner thingy, so i drove the bolt in past the threads (if thats possible), both had been properly fixed however.

Oh, and if anyone else manages to do the same thing, The bolts that will fit are metric size M6x1.0, length depending on if your using the plug holder thingy on the coils (the other one broke, so I used a shorter screw. Be aware that if you use a shorter screw and its a 10mm head, that it will be a tight squeeze in when you get toward the bottom of the coil.)
