Where is the ignition module - I need the wiring diagrams as well?

On the manuals I look at they say there is no ignition module for this car because it is integrated into the PCM. Here are the wiring diagrams so you can see for yourself (below) I have the PCM location for you if you want to try a used one. What problem are you having? Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Its like its not getting any fire at all.But after an hour it starts up everytime.Seems to be doing it more often now that its wamrer weather.It never dies driving down the road it only happens after turning it off. We now know when it doesnt start if you put gas or starting fluid in the carb it starts up.So could it be the fuel relay or whateever its called.

Either relay or fuel pump can you hear pump run?

Yes you can hear the pump.

Where is the relay?

If pump runs then relay is good need to check fuel pressure when it won't start. should be 35-45 psi

I cannot find the ignition control module on a 95 Ford ranger 4.0 any ideas where it's at

that's because it's in the pcm

where is the ignition module located on a 1996 ford ranger pickup 4.0 engine

your vehicle uses the GEM (generic electronic module) and it is located behind the center of the dash.

I have a 1997 chevy pickup s10 i idles perfect put when you accelerate quickly it splutters and misses what it the problem

Does not have one all is controled through PCM. What is problem?

if you have an S10 then why you asking about a Ford ranger..?

[quote:512e3742f5="bluelightnin6"]if you have an S10 then why you asking about a Ford ranger..?[/quote:512e3742f5]because i have both vehicles and i am not real good on a computer and i am trying to get answers to both before i lose this web site whichever one I can get running is the one i will drive Thanks for your information I really appreciate the help I hope this does not sound smart because it is not meant to be

no problem, just making sure you typed the correct vehicle in. for the Ford, like Doc said it does not have a separate ignition module, it uses the powertrain control module (PCM) and also has Fords generic electric module (GEM).

for the Chevy issue, is the check engine light on in the dash panel? could be as simple as a bad mass airflow (MAF) sensor, but if you have engine light on then you should take it to local auto part store and ask them to retrieve your vehicle's check engine trouble codes. that will help pinpoint the issue. you can post the code(s) you retrieve here and i will follow up.

i talked to you earlier about the 1997 chevy s10 the code showing up is 1336 we have replaced map senser crank senser cam senser IAC valve throttle position senser oxygen senser ignition module coil packs wires and plugs checked fuel pressure compressio timing chain we have pulled the head to make sure no valves were burnt It is about to cause me to go BANKRUPT I really like the pickup and would like to get it running Thanks for your help IT IS GREATLY A PPRECIATED and I can't believe I found someone willing to give me free help

1336 means you need to "teach" the computer to read the crank sensor correctly. you will need a scan tool for this.


install scan tool
vehicle in Park or Neutral
engine coolant temp. at 158 degrees F
engage parking brake
block vehicle drive wheels
turn all accessories Off
enable the crankshaft position system variation learning procedure with the scan tool
raise engine speed to 3920 RPM and release throttle as soon as the engine cuts out

The scan tool should indicate that the crankshaft position system variation has been performed

Afterwards, use the scan tool and select DTC, CLEAR INFO. Then start and warm engine to normal operating temp. Select DTC, SPECIFIC, then enter DTC P1336. Operate vehicle. Scan tool will then indicate wether the test passed.

Vehicle does not have ICM all is controled by PCM. What is problem?

i cant find the ignition control module, ive tried calling the ford dealership and parts store.

1994 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

no fuel no spark already changed ignition control module and the crank sensor what else can it be

check the pcm power relay, in the energy block, in the engine bay

you may also want to check the anti theft system, these things are notorious for these no start situations

[quote="chris22"]Engine Mechanical problem
1994 Ford ranger found a ground unhooked now have fuel but still no spark

what was that???

I have visited this web site for info onto getting my 93-94 ford ranger running, it had stopped suddenly down the highway and I had it towed home where it has been sitting.The fuel pump primes, engine turns over, relay switches checked Ok, timing belt removed and new one put on, Old one torn!, and timing marks line up, one of the two coil paks replaced, condensor swapped out with one known to work well. Recently gone to vehicle wreckers to get new DIS module or ignition control module(got 2 units in event one did not work),put new spark plugs in, went to start truck and it turns over, but still will not fire?The only apparent problem seems like the crankshaft postion sensor? Is their anyway to test it?Or other solutions to problem? Their is no spark at all.

I need to know if you have a digital multi meter? I would like to check a couple of things and it will take a meter to do the tests. Get back to me and we will go from there.

i have a 94 ranger 2.3 i have changed the icm and the crank sensor and just replaced coil packs butt still no spark

Yes I have a good DMM, that can test diode inductance,resistance coninuity well, so that is not a problem and a bunch of smaller ones with limited features.

Thankyou

check the items I first mentioned then we can take it from there

If you would check the crankshaft position sensor and make sure it is plugged in and that it isn't damaged. If that is good then I need you to check for voltage at the coils at the red wire with the light green stripe. With key on engine off you should have battery voltage there. Let me know what you find and we will take it from there.

relays both checked out ok were should i start with the anti theft im good with cars but never had to mess with the theft system

The wire brunt of the the crank sensor, what color is the wire and where do they go?

They go to the ignition control module shown here. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Put battery in backwards and tried jumping; replaced master cylinoid, ignition control module, ignition coil spark plugs oil filter and new battery:..it Cranks as well was told to replace engine control module but not sure if will fix problem

check fuses in pic in power dist box as well as fuse 1

Fuses were replaced as well as fuel pump relay

san for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge then. start there.

How can I check fuel pump pressure? B/c fuel pump was replaced about a year ago

rent a gauge from auto parts hook up to fuel rail and turn thekey on 30-45 psi

My 1987 ford Ranger 2.9l V6 runs for about 10 minutes and quits. Will restart after waiting an hour or so and then it quits again in 10 minutes. Complete loss of spark. Replaced TFI module. Did not help problem. Started checking with light and volt ohm meter. The coil has power but the run terminal on the plug to the ignition module does not. This is likely the cause of not spark. Why does power fail after running for a while? The wiring diagram shows that the coil and the ignition module power come form the same place. Should I just rewire the power to the ignition module or is there some other easy fix.
