Thanks everyone who pointed me in the right direction on where to get a new DIC for my wife's 95 Aero. At MI Roger's suggestion I went to Carquest and paid 309.95 for a nice OE SEM brand DIC. They had it is stock and it was in my wife's car in 20 minutes and cured the problem. Carquest was near her work so I did a parking lot install and all was cured.
My wife and I each have Aeros and our son's each have one as well for a total of 4. We have a spare cassette that we share whenever we have a misfire........well this one really backfired on me.
She had a misfire code that kept popping up....New plugs did not fix it....so I figured it was the DIC.
I borrowed the spare from my son Jeff.....Jeff and I could not remember if it was any good.....well we found out! Even though it ran OK when I test drove it after putting it in my wife's car last night......well it stalled, misfired.....and well she hardly made it to work. All she could say was "why did I get the bad one?"
Of course her car has the highest priority of our Saabs, so I screwed up big!! From now on she gets the newest one!!
Now I need to buy a known good DIC.
thanks for you help everyone. I was very happy the CarQuest had one in stock at a good price and the OEM type.
