I have never heard it called that. Ford calls it a PIP. Some people call it a stator. I Thought mine was going bad? If you hook up a Multimeter to your stator/PIP and rotate the distributor you can check to see if it is working. That stator is the thing that the TFI Modula hooks up to. The stator is a B**** to get back together. I tried pressing all parts to the distributor and I broke my distributor.

Instead it was the connections in my wiring harness. My suggestions is to reground all grounds to the wiring harness and clean all the connectors on the wiring harness. I would buy a really small pipe brush and two bottles of electrical cleaner. I would clean all the connectors and lightly use the very small pipe brush. After doing all of that I would buy some dielectric grease and grease every connections including the 60 pin connector to the ECM. Grease lots.

The real problem with fuel injection that gets older is electrical connections start to go loose and get nasty.
