DIS problems
Hello to All!
I have a 92 Ranger w/a 2.3 L .
Lately its had a miss and keeps throwing the check engine light. I replaced both coil packs, plugs and plug wires. Still having the same problem, allthough the miss is not quite as bad.
I called around for a new DIS module thinking that maybe this was the problem, prices ranged from $100 to $240. Being the penny pincher that I am I bought one from a salvage yard for $40. Good idea huh?? NOT!!
I installed the DIS from the salvage yard and it would'nt hit a lick!! No fire, no rough start, NOTHING!! So I reinstalled the old DIS module, the one that it was running with minutes before, and still it wont hit a lick!!
I took the DIS I bought from the salvage yard to Autozone to be tested and they say it's working properly.
I have no idea what else could be the problem. I've heard some say that Autozones tests are unreliable, so I'm thinking of returning the salvage yard DIS and buying a new one.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated!!
Thanks!!

heatsink grease is used on the dis to keep it cooled and reduce vibrations. you can buy it at computer stores.
