Did you check your PCM Relay and/or fuse for it?
Both are located at the engine compartment fuse block. the fuse is in position I and is 20A.

Hope this helps

You will probably need a voltmeter to see if there is actual voltage at the fuse. It could also be your relay for it.
Did you check the relay?

The haynes manual walks through the debug process pretty well.

Check the ignition module and PIP.

Check your fuse panel guide in your owners manual for exact locations or refer to the plastic cover on the engine compartment fuse panel. There is a diode according to my wiring diagram tied into the PCM (EEC). this is fuse-like in appearance and is located at that fuse box in position L (12). Could be bad as well.

This all may be just a shot in the dark, but it may help you

Best of luck
Dan.

When this comes up, I always like to point people in the direction of the Ignition Control Module. They have a tendency to fail without warning and give the symptoms you describe. Most parts places have the ability to check them for free.

Good luck.

Do a search(www) on the ford ignition module and you'll find out how to check it (and the pip sensor) without buying the manual -- where ever you are getting your fuses from you'll probably find the manual.

Check for +12v at each relay -- if its below ~10v(dc) or so and the preceding one is +12v then you may have a bad relay. If you hear the fuel pump clicking and our getting +12v measured at the relays probably not relays/fuses. (Key on) .
I had this problem this past summer turned out to be the ignition control module and pip sensor.

Inside the distributor.

The tfi and tpi are two different items. You pull the distributor to replace it. Replace the the tfi and pip at the same time.

http://www.coolcats.net/tech/troubleshooting/tfi.html
http://www.turbotbird.com/techinfo/TFI-PIP/TFI-PIP.htm

Added second url upon edit. Shows the TFI & PIP being replaced. Your tfi maybe on the firewall and not on the side of the distributor.


Search ignition control module, tfi module etc...you'll find lot's of info.
