DIC's - The alternatives fail too.....

I got a panicked phone call from my Law School son on Monday, the "Check Engine" light illuminated on his 2001 Chevy Blazer and the car started runniing rough. I told him it is probably an emissions issue, to get it fixed soon but it doesn't mean eminent engine failure.
Today I got another call, this time the car wouldn't start at all. It would sputter to life after a long cranking period then stop. He had to arrange for an early morning tow to the nearest Dealer and schedule a service appointment.
He called the Service Dept back for info/update 3 hours after his appointment and received his answer. Bad cap and rotor. Only 3 years old and 24,000 miles! Luckily this falls within the powertrain warranty so he is out no money for repair, the tow is still a question mark.
Just a reminder to all of us who complain about failure of the DIC, it exists because the alternative has its share of problems too.
