Ignitor. The CAS doesn't usually go bad unless it's whacked, dropped, or melted.

The CAS is actually a wheel that spins. It doesn't go bad. The CAS pickup can go bad, but the CAS itself will never fail... there's nothing there, other than a spinning piece of metal, to fail...

He flushed the fuel system, did a minor repair on the fuel pump, and set the a/f, and put on another starter and its running great.
