You sounded like there's no spark

Let me ask you this-do you have a distributor? if not the computer is your ignition control module when it recieves a signal from the Cam/Crank sensors then it fires the coil this where you get spark at the plugs.

[quote:fafc4cf16e="sabamasa"]Where is the ignition module located on a 1997 ford probe with a 4 cylinder engine?[/quote:fafc4cf16e] I have a distributor. I bought an ignition module but I can't locate it on the car.

It is the 2.0L.

What engine is this 2.0L or 2.5L-I've been looking for it-the 2.5 has a distributor but couldn't come up with ICM.

I know this is many years old, did you guys ever find ICM? Factory service manual states it’s part of the PCM. But I have a coil and be a distributor.

Yes the ignition control module (ICM) is part of the powertrain control module (PCM) and cannot be serviced separately. The PCM is located under the dash on the center.
