Mercury Lynx Ignition Control Module
The Ignition Control Module in the Mercury Lynx provides the on/off switching of coil current that times spark accurately for reliable starts and smooth running. The Ignition Control Module in the Mercury system gets its signal from either a crankshaft position sensor or a distributor pickup. The module works as an electronic transistorized gate that opens and closes the primary circuit quickly, thereby allowing the coil to produce the high voltage surge required to fire each plug. Earlier models of the Mercury Lynx had a distributor with the Ignition Control Module that operated with magnetic or hall sensors while the centrifugal and vacuum units still performed the advance task as before, offering higher voltage and less wear than that of breaker points. The later versions of Lynx are distributorless. The timing decisions are located in the engine computer, but the igniter is still either an Ignition Control Module or integrated igniter that switches particular coil packs from crankshaft data, eliminating mechanical play while improving efficiency. In the Mercury Lynx line, it does not matter whether the car is an older or newer generation, as a healthy Ignition Control Module is an absolute must. This is because if the transistor fails, the coil will never receive its needed current pulse. Thus, the car will only crank without spark.

Mercury Lynx Ignition Control Module Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to test and replace the Ignition Control Module on the Mercury Lynx?A:Caution is advised as the ignition control module is a delicate and relatively expensive electronic component, requiring tests to be performed with the appropriate equipment by knowledgeable individuals. Failure to adhere to the outlined procedures may lead to damage to the module or other electronic devices, including the EEC-IV microprocessor in TFI vehicles. All devices under computer control are protected by a Federally mandated extended warranty, so consulting a dealer before attempting self-diagnosis is recommended. To check the Duraspark II system ignition control module voltage, turn off the ignition switch, insert a small straight pin into the red module wire without grounding it, attach the negative lead of a voltmeter to the distributor base, measure battery voltage, and then attach the positive lead to the pin in the red module wire with the ignition switch in the Run position. If the measured voltage is less than 90 percent of the battery voltage, inspect the wiring harness and ignition switch for wear and damage. For the ignition control module wiring harness, attach one lead of an ohmmeter to the distributor base and check the resistance between the wiring harness terminals mating with the black and purple module wires. If the resistance is greater than the specified value, the ignition control module-to-distributor stator wiring harness resistance is normal; otherwise, inspect the wiring harness. Unplug and inspect the four-wire ignition control module electrical connector and the ignition coil connector, then measure the resistance between the TACH terminal of the ignition coil connector and ground. If the resistance is greater than one ohm, replace the ignition control module; if less, inspect the wiring harness. For the ground circuit, insert a small straight pin into the black module wire, attach the negative lead of a voltmeter to the distributor base, and measure the voltage at the black wire. If the voltage is greater than 0.5 volt, check the distributor ground circuit; if less, replace the ignition control module. Unplug the electrical connector from the distributor and inspect it, then measure the resistance in the distributor ground circuit. If the resistance is less than one ohm, the circuit is okay; if greater, check the ground screw in the distributor. For the TFI-I system, remove the distributor and ignition control module, check the condition of the distributor ground screw, stator wires, and connector terminals, and connect an ohmmeter between the stator terminals. For the TFI-IV system, unplug the wiring harness connector from the ignition control module, inspect it, and check for spark using a calibrated spark tester. If there is no spark, proceed to the distributor/TFI-IV module check. If spark is present, the issue may lie with the inferred mileage sensor or the EEC-IV electronic control module, which requires professional diagnosis. For models from 1984 to 1987, purchase a new ignition control module before performing checks, as the process may necessitate a new module. For models from 1987 to 1990, measure resistance between the ignition control module terminals in various ignition switch positions; if resistance is as listed, the module is good, and the stator is defective. For module replacement in the Duraspark II system, detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, unplug the appropriate connectors, remove the mounting screws, and detach the module, ensuring installation is the reverse of removal. For TFI and TFI-IV systems, remove the distributor, unscrew the module mounting screws, and disconnect the spade connectors from the stator connector, applying silicone dielectric grease to the back side of the module before installation.
