It is a little involved to replace the pick up coil in the dist.
The code is from that component and it's connections.
If you are careful and do a "GOOD" job repairing the connector, you might get away with just doing that.
The dependability of your vehicle will depend on the quality of your job. The connection carries very small amounts of electrical signal and it is critical that the connection is good.
Thank you for the update.

If you decide to replace the pick up coil or dist please check here before STARTING the job.
There is an EXACT procedure to get things in place before disturbing settings.

 

is it better to solder the connection or use inline connectors
thank you and will check bach later

 

Ford recommends non-insulated butt splice connectors like this: + heat shrink tubing.
All the connector replacement you buy regardless of what brand dorman or motocraft, always use that combo, especially in a tight spot, If you are pro at soldering, and when working only on the bench, maybe.

 

thank you for all the knowledge you shared. it is running pretty good now. used inline butt connectors and shrink tubing.
thank you on to the next challenge.
