Ford Contour While only built on a short time span, the Contour was very popular with people of all driving styles, from the base model making for a great family car, to the SVT making a great track toy.

please help me asap

Welcome to the site..

No ignition module, the Power Train Control Module (PCM) is in control of the coil pack...

but i bought this???? http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...1362259k385949 i got the DY753

my ford dealership also has it listed for $443 i gave the dealership my VIN # too and thats how i got the part number for rockauto.com so are both places full of it? well the problem with my SVT contour is it shuts off on me all of a sudden sometimes while im driving and it will not start back up. but if i wait a few hours it sometimes does start. any ideas Hayapower? BTW i love your vehicle collection

Really don't have much experience with the Contour..

.......Looking up the MY/engine this is whats comes up for ignition.......

The ignition system consists of an ignition coil, spark plug wires and spark plugs.

The crankshaft position sensor signal is the basis for ignition timing calculations. The alternating voltage signal from the crankshaft position sensor is digitized by a pulse former within the powertrain control module. This digitized signal is then used to position the closing time of the primary circuit of the ignition coil.

Ignition timing is determined by the powertrain control module in response to engine operating conditions based on stored data tables or maps. Once ignition timing has been determined, the powertrain control module interrupts the current to the primary circuit of the ignition coil thus triggering the ignition spark which is supplied to the cylinders through the spark plug wires and spark plugs.

The ignition coils are triggered by the powertrain control module in pairs (cylinders 1 and 5, cylinders 4 and 3 and cylinders 2 and 6) sending one ignition spark to the firing cylinder and one ignition spark to the corresponding cylinder on the exhaust stroke. This ensures that any unburnt fuel residues remaining in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke are re - ignited to provide cleaner exhaust emissions.

However,, I had parts check,, and a module is shown.. BUT,, as/or in a location veiw, It points towards the PCM but does show a image of an ICM.. Might check there..

Have you checked it for a spark on the stall? May just be the CKP..
