Wires, Plugs, ICM

So after finding that my battery wasnt worth a damn. I got it replaced at advanced auto since it was only 7 months old. Got the new battery on. Also cleaned up the terminal connectors a bit just in case. Crank but no start again. However it did sound better when doing so.

Next on the agenda to try. New Wire and plug set.....

Now that they are all in. Still an ORANGE spark. Stronger than before but not blue. Still would not start.

So I finally got the guts to take off the Ignition Control Module to test and relocate it. It was a fun task. Got the front passenger tire off and got the ICM unbolted. Moved the connector up through to the top of the motor for relocation.

You can see the connector popping out there.

So Autozone and Oreilly cannot test the Ignition Control Module for me so i will have to do it myself. After getting it out i noticed it was really gooey...

Figured it was just buildup. So i was going to mount to the top of the motor and make sure and get a good ground to see if that was the issue. I had to take the little metal clip off that holds the wire to it. Well I undid the screws and this is what was inside......

Im pretty sure thats not normal. Maybe dielectric grease? Looks fried without testing it. Any ideas????? Any how the cheapest i can find one is $84.00 from Autozone. Anyone got one cheaper?
