Anyone have a lead on pigtails for the ICM and the coil?

Just googled this one. Should match, AFAIR coil has 4 pins.
So, Your story on random stalls continue? Do You have it confirmed there is no spark when it stalls/doesn't start?

So no spark.
Don't know if this might be as simple as this, when it did no start this morning I was just checking connections and trying to start it up, after I "pushed in" the connectors for the coil and ICM it started right up. did some research and found the pigtails (standard motor S551 & S656) ordered them from amazon and will be here tomorrow, so I'll splice them in and see if it really could be that simple.

Connector itself has a rather sturdy & waterproof design, so personally I doubt.

Your ICM may not be getting timing pulses from a distributor. You may try punching thin needles through the wires at PN contacts and measure the AC voltage. As far, as there are timing pulses, it should be present. I'd expect a few volts amplitude. This could rule out the distributor.

Your coil should be getting pulses from ICM that are turned into sparks. You may measure the AC voltage on +C contacts, which should be present. That would rule out ICM.

The AC voltage is my guess, as it actually depends on the quality of the voltmeter You use (its refreshing rate). If You have the fast one, then even on DC bargraph You may see the pulses. If You have a good toy like Fluke with "fast DC" option, You may even measure the amplitude. Try either DC and AC and drop the info of what You've found.
