I apologize but I'm running behind on the conversation. I was off grid for a week to complete a job including getting a vehicle from CA to CO and yes it was all legal activity.

I have not heard of the ICP failing intermittently due to heat. Kind of a similar behavior to the infamous "hot no start" the HPOP system can do. I was under the impression when the ICP fails its just a no start until replacement. I would definitely try the cool it with water trick first as it's cheap and easy.

So was the ICP failing
and the plug was loose or was the plug the main problem all along?
One of several pet peeves I have with other mechanics is the breaking of plugs or the retention devices on plugs. As well as not reinstalling wire management, heat shields, ground straps, I'll stop before I get cranky. It's just sloppy work. Good mechanics can at times do sloppy work.
I was hoping you could clarify if it was the ICP and plug issue or just the plug. Thank you for following up.
