Default HELP! Ignition Control Module Replaced Already

Hey all, I replaced the icm on my truck a few months ago and she was running fine until today, she stalled out and wont start back up. Sounds just like she did before i replaced icm. I am thinking maybe the plug that connects to icm is bad? what is that part called and does anyone have any suggestions?

You need to keep a few ICMs on hand. They dont reslly fo bad but they just need rotating out. Some times you can smake one with a wrench and it'll straighten up. Some times it needs swapped out
