Part Identification
I recently purchased a '91 extended to replace my '90 extended Eddie Bauer which had its body "modified" by a careless driver.
The '91 has a part under the hood that is located on the passenger side and attached to the sheetmetal. It is about halfway between the air cleaner and the AC accumulator. It is an electrical component (has several wires leading in to it) and looks like a big heat sink (approx 3 x 5). My '90 does not have this part (at least not in the same location.
Any educated guesses out there?????
As a second question: My '91 Aerostar wiring and vaccum trouble shooting manual shows the "Daylight Running Lights Module" as "Canada Only". Did they not have the DRL option available in the states?
Thanks,

The electrical part is what Ford calls the electronic distributorless igniton control (EDIC) module. The electronic "distributor".
DRL were not fitted to domestic models in '91, exports only.

Thanks for the info.....that is strange though. I know the previous owner and they bought the van new here in Houston at Frontier Ford.
Oh well, probably like my '77 Malibu....bought it with a 305 and when I replaced the engine it turned out to be a 265........

I do not want to step on the Aerostar Guru 
, But I think that might be the TFI module for the ignition.
AeroC., feel free to smack me silly if you wish, I defer to your knowledge!

Uh oh! I assumed cookkd had a 4.0 version. If he has the 3.0 then reever is probably correct. The 'heat sink' clue should have tipped me off. My humble apology for any misleading information and a big dope slap for me!
