95 Mustang GT - Starting Problems

Aaeros · 01-17-2006, 07:24 AM

Back when my problem first started, I took the Ignition Control Module (ICM) to O'riley Auto Parts and had them test it. There are 3 checks that the machine runs. The first one, Low Range, tested bad and the other two were ok.

I bought the borg/warner (lifetime warranty) ICM. I have no clue what might be zapping it, if indeed this latest one I installed is bad.

As far codes from the key ignition, there are some steps to get engine failure codes. I dont have the exact steps, and that's what I was asking here. Apparently you jumper something, turn the ignition on and off 3 times or so, then the check engine light will blink giving the 2 digit failure code. (I dont have an ODB reader)

Thats kind of odd that the TFI mod would be getting burned up like that. Id be looking for a short to power or something like that. Theres three ways to get the codes. 1 hook up a analog volt meter to the single wire on the Data link connector on the passenger side strut tower (Back side) 2 buy the cheepo but accurate code reader from autozone for 20 or 30 buck. 3 find some one with a snap on or mac scanner. If you do a search of this site you should be able to find directions on hooking up the analog meter, or buy a hanze repair manual. Good luck. p.s. if you would like email me with your address and ill mail you one of the stock, but working, tfi modules from my 95. Vert5oh@aol.com
