1997 Ford Ranger Pick-up Other - Ignition System


Question: I can't find the location of the ignition module on my 3.2 litre 1997 Ford Ranger. I want to have it tested. My truck just quit and won't restart. Fuel is ok. Someone told me they used to be on the front of the intake manifold but it's not there.

Technican: The TPS is on your intake at the trottle body. The ECM if I remember correctly was located behind the right side kick panel below the dash, or behind the glove box. Takes a little removal of trim pieces to get to. There should also de a diagnostic plug under the hood on the left side fender appron. If you have access to a diagnostic scanner, I'd suggest scanning the complete system while its' intact to try and retrieve a diagnostic code or codes before tearing the thing apart. Check with some of your locl parts houses. I understand some of them are providing this free or at a nominal charge. Its' important you follow all the tests in the flow chart to pinpoint the problem. I from time to time used to work from the bottom of the charts and work my way up to try and eliminate any unnessary parts especialy when more than one code came up. Sometimes the part at the bottom of the chart may feed a false reading ahead of it and visa versa. Paul
