I have a 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited and my car has been stalling on me while I drive. I can usually start it back up and it will drive again, but sometimes I have to wait awhile and start it, before it runs again. It seems the warmer the car, the more the car will stall on me. Service engine light has been on, but recently went off. AutoZone' s machine read a cylinder 6 misfire. Someone thought it was my coil pack. I replaced that and I am still having the problem. Can someone PLEASE help me? I'm just tired of paying for parts and labor and the main issue is NOT getting fixed.

The flat thing with the big wide plug under the coil packs is the ignition control module. They all plug into it. Take out the two screws in each pack and remove them all. They're all the same so you don't have to mark them but mark the wires to go back in the same place. Check the contacts for corrosion. Clean and retry. If no change then the module is probably losing #6. Replace the module
