i was just wondering if an ignition module could cause my truck to run on 5 cylinders(its a sonoma gt). it has been sitting outside i usually start it every week. but one time my friend came over his battery died so i jumped his car it was raining out while i was doing this then about a week later i start the truck and it feels like it is running on 5 cylinders (it has before).so i thought it was the plug wires thats what it was before replaced them but still runs like crap i replaced my coil cap and rotor about a year ago and looks like the cap/rotor needs replacing (green crap on points) also there was that green crap on the module bolts? cant figure it out
 

TYRODD

I doubt its the module, you wouldnt be getting any spark if it was toast.
It sounds like the cap/rotor is no good, that green crap is oxidation and can cause a misfire.

Id replace the coil, cap, rotor, plugs, etc., at least you'll be able to rule them out. :)
