For the TFI-IV ignition control module (distributor-mounted or remote-mounted), follow the specified steps for removal and installation. Apply silicone dielectric grease to the back of the module before installing it.

Duraspark II Ignition Control Module checks involve verifying power to the module, checking the resistance of the distributor stator, and ensuring ground circuit continuity. If battery voltage is not reaching the module, the circuit should be traced to the ignition switch and battery. If any of the test results are incorrect, the Ignition Control Module should be replaced. The replacement process involves detaching the battery cable, unplugging electrical connectors, removing mounting screws, and installing the new module. For the TFI-IV Ignition Control Module, checks include inspecting and reconnecting ignition wiring harness connectors, testing the ignition coil primary circuit with a test light, and checking for power to the module. Resistance checks should be performed between specific terminals, and if any test results are incorrect, the Ignition Control Module should be replaced. The replacement process involves removing the distributor, removing the module, and installing the new module. For the EDIS Ignition Control Module, checks involve inspecting and reconnecting ignition coil wiring harness connectors, testing the ignition coil primary circuit with a test light, and checking for power to the module. Resistance checks should be performed on the crankshaft sensor, and if any test results are incorrect, the Ignition Control Module should be replaced. The replacement process involves disconnecting the battery cable, disconnecting the electrical connector, removing the screws securing the module, and installing the new module.

The ignition control module is a delicate and relatively expensive electronic component, and improper procedures could lead to damage to the module or other electronic devices, including the EEC-IV microprocessor. Check with your dealer about the Federally mandated extended warranty on devices under computer control before attempting to diagnose and replace the module yourself. Note that certain models use a special DuraSpark II ignition control module with altitude compensation features for spark timing and engine performance at high altitudes. An intermittent no-start condition may occur in some years and models of SSI and DuraSpark ignition systems, where the engine starts momentarily and shuts down instantly or runs the duration of a trip but won't restart afterward. Striking the module or applying heat won't fix it, confirming the ignition control module as defective. To check the ignition control module on DuraSpark systems, examine power to the module, resistance of the distributor stator, and ground circuit continuity. For TFI-IV ignition control modules, inspect power, resistance between terminals, and the PIP to SPOUT circuit. Always ensure safety measures when working with the ignition system. For ignition control module replacement, detach the negative battery cable, unplug electrical connectors, remove mounting screws, and replace the module or stator. Reassemble components following the reverse order of removal and use appropriate lubrication or dielectric grease when specified.

To remove the heatsink assembly, unscrew or unbolt it from the radiator support bracket on non-supercharged models or the belt pulley bracket on supercharged models. On non-supercharged models, remove the two screws holding the ignition control module to the heatsink. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition control module. Before installation, coat the metal baseplate of the ignition control module with silicone dielectric compound WA-10, D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent. To reinstall, follow the reverse of the removal procedure.
