With this and your horn, I'm beginning to thing you have some bad grounding that's corroding your connections. It couldn't hurt, and might help to add your own ground strap from battery to frame. And maybe another from battery to block, though off hand I can't think of where to get a good connection on that side of the block. A lousy ground will start making ALL your electrical connections corrode.
The explanation is when I removed the damaged head the crankshaft sensor plug was removed from a bracket attached to the coil pack bracket. When the head was reinstalled and the coil pack put back in place the bracket was no where to be found. The crankshaft sensor plug was re-connected but the safety wire clip was left off. On initial fire up we had issues with wild uncontrolled acceleration. The car got towed to and from the dealer where they did more damage until I took it back and sorted it out. So when the engine failed while idling it turns out the plug must have vibrated apart enough that it killed the engine. Cleaning the plug with contact cleaner, and reconnecting it did the job. I have since found the missing safety clip and reinstalled it. GM DAEWOO must have known what they were doing when they insisted on the safety clip. I relied on the forum data on P2610 codes and the alldata checklist on P2610 codes to get to this point in checking for engine failure. The interesting thing is that most time P2610 does not involve failing to fire or start. I hate problems but I love when people post the real solution or explanation to what happened to their car.
