I have used the blaster w a stock icm (the inductive version) and also with a 6al (cdi version). Both worked well over for 400whp with a stock dizzy.
Make sure to spend a little extra and get the Denso brand coil. The cheap one don't last very long.
Short answer - it was the ignition coil. In the end - it serves as a reminder that just because a code (or lack of) seems to point to a specific component, you MUST diagnose. ECM costs $300 - $1000 including coding - a Denso ignition coil was just over $100.
I'd replace the FPR with a 3BAR since they are cheap and easy to replace and considering your mods. New coolant temp sensors for the same reasons as well even though you state they are ok. Coil could be an issue, no real need to upgrade the factory ones but a new one could resolve the problem (Bremi coils are using STI [brand not car] windings in the units).
I actually installed a GM Ignition coil on my CM400 to replace the old Honda one.
I think the only difference is lifespan and reliability. I wouldn't cheap out on plug-on-coils because the budget companies don't take as much care with the wire insulation (apparently 2 different temperature ratings are acceptable, and the cheap companies use the lower temperature), coil material, or the epoxy that coats and insulates everything isn't as good or isn't applied as well.
I went with (6 of each) Delphi GN10168 coils & NGK 2262 spark plugs. $150 with 5% discount + shipping. I hope I made a wise decision.
My wife's 2000 Cabrio started having this same set of symptoms. Replaced coil, plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor not that long ago. Coil was indeed cracked, but the symptoms persist.
My ignition coil failed on Sunday. It was a replacement I purchased 5 years ago (brand name HUCO).
Car always kills them. I was the most surprised when it killed the Hitachi coils.
