To answer your question...
ICM = ignition control module = slang term is "ignitor".
It's inside the distributor; it's kind of an isolation amplifier to prevent voltage spikes from the coil from getting back to fry your ECU.

And to add....check that the main ground - G101 - is attached/clean and tight. This ground is on the "lower" bolt of the t-stat housing for your 4th gen.
