Yes, since the breakup both Delphi & Delco are owned by Borg-Warner. GM does not own much any more. Lately been buying more Bosch though still have some spares from before.

Don't give up on it. It's going to be OK. Just make sure you have a cellphone and some necessities with you. AAA is a good thing to have as well. I carry a lot of stuff just in case of a breakdown. Probably too much because my trunk is always full. Lots of tools and FSM for diagnosing problems, jumper cables, lawn chairs, WATER, a few spare parts, and a change of clothes. It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Carb leaner is good but the old style carb cleaner could damage your O2 sensor if you don't get all the cleaner out before running the engine. Check the can to see if it is safe for O2 sensors.

Carb cleaner, but be careful as the screws are stainless steel so a magnetized screwdriver won't work to your advantage. Put a towel or old shirt underneath the housing to catch the screw if it slips from your fingers. If you should lose one the screws that hold down the MAF sensor are the same.

That is a subject that has much mixed messaging. I suspect many of us, myself included, have mixed new and used parts with some success. There are youTube videos diagnosing and repairing ignition systems like ours on the internet, and the general consensus is they should be replaced as a set. The Delco triple coil is seemingly designed to allow replacing single components?? The jist of the story seems to be that a failing coil or coils, puts more strain on the ICM which may then fail prematurely after the coil is replaced. Clear as mud, huh?
