I am more than fairly certain that the 5KTQ doesn't have an ignition control
module. Ours is basically the ECU. The 4K does and it is located behind the
glove box. 5ktq's use a different system to initiate spark including the
"timing reference sensor" . So, I would say that you don't have to worry
about an ICM at all. Maybe the three little wires on your hall sender (on
the ign. distributer) are in jeopardy. They are very susceptible to damage.
It may be hard to check seing that it is intermittant. I would open up the
distributer and check the hall sender connections.
My best guess!
