ford aerostar EEC IV fault code
Recently my 4.0L 90 aerostar's check engine light comes on. The symptom is the same as the posting of member EIGHTBALL on July 2,01.
I cleaned the MAF with electrical contact cleaner but it dosn't help. Then I check the fault code and it is 14 which mean PIP CIRCUIT FAILURE from Chilton manual.
Could anybody please tell me what the fault code means? I really don't know what sensor to clean.
Thanks.

Profile Ignition Pickup. It is a signal monitored by the computer and generated by the ignition module. The code is set when the signal is irregular. Basically this is the time to change the module or check for loose or bad wiring in the ignition to computer circuits.

I had the spark plug wire set and spark plugs changed last month because the engine misfire when it is moist in rainy day. Do you mean I had to check the plugs wire or the actual wirings from the ignition module to the EEC. Is there a link that has more information of how to check the ignition module wiring.
PS. After getting this fault code, the exhaust gas smell terrible.
Thanks.

I mean the wiring from the module to the EEC. What you really need is a manual that has the trouble tree form of diagnostics. Try the public library for free information. Copy the pages you need.
