Although the module fails more often than the coil I have seen both parts go at the same time. Before we throw that thing in the trash and get a new part let's make sure we have spark coming out of the coil. If you don't have spark and you have one of those rectangular boxes mounted on the front side of the distributor then there is a strong likelihood this is your malfunction. In this situation, I would take a quick fuel pressure test to make sure you're not dealing with the lack of fuel problem mentioned above. If you have spark coming out of the distributor, then your ignition module is not the problem. Finally, you crank the engine around and look for a strong spark in the plastic visible window on the spark tester tool. This allows you to view the spark jumping during a one-man test. The jumper wire gives you the flexibility to set up the spark tester where you can see it. You can also set up a jumper wire with one end attached to a good ground found on a frame bolt or even the negative terminal of the battery. Next you attach the other end to the spark plug. You remove the spark plug boot and insert the tester in line with the ignition wire. Sidebar: the nice part about these inexpensive spark testers, available for around $10, is they have a clear plastic window that lets you see the spark operating. Therefore we're going to grab an inexpensive inline ignition spark tester to verify we don't have any spark at all reaching the spark plugs. Of course, other situations like a failed fuel pump or even a clogged fuel filter can cause the same symptoms. When the ignition module fails, the engine turns over normally, but doesn't even sputter or kick like it's trying to start. No Spark Caused from a Failed Ford Ignition Module See this article about Chevrolet ignition module problems. Sidebar: Chevrolet fans suffer from this issue as well. However, before we jump in and replace this thing let's talk about a few quick tests to make sure we’re not dealing with another problem.

Another piece of good news is, the replacement Ford ignition module available on this page features an improved design over the one that might be causing your no start condition today. In addition, we'll talk about applying dielectric grease to the new part so it lasts as long as the original equipment ignition module.


Here we'll talk about how long a Ford ignition module lasts, what it takes to replace it and a special tool that you're going to need to get the job done. Although I recommend a few quick tests before you replace the part, if your distributor mounted ignition module looks like the image on the right you probably just found your failed component.
