Re: What is this chingadera?
You can see how a couple wires pulled out, I can fix it, but it's going to be pretty tough

Ignition control module. Make sure its bolted to metal or you'll have gremlins!
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

I think you meant to type MSD, if so, never mind!

Stupid autocorrect ha. My bad yes that's exactly what I meant. I've never ran one but there's a discussion somewhere on here about them

Re: What is this chingadera?
If you need to splice the wires, make sure they are sealed with best-shrink tubing. Don't give corrosion a chance to get into the wires or connector.
Sho nuff,

Re: What is this chingadera?
Thanks for all the help, I'm pretty OCD on wiring, so I'll make sure to do it up right.

Re: What is this chingadera?
I should be able to handle it, it's definitely going to need a non insulated butt connecter

Re: What is this chingadera?
If it's running with wires missing, I'd be surprised. That's the TFI module for the ignition.
My car is a hybrid; it burns gas and rubber.

Re: What is this chingadera?
I have one of those in my '89 Bronco but Its not plugged in to anything since the fender came off a newer F150. I didn't bother removing it since it can serve as a spare for anyone else who might need one out in the dirt.

Carry a spare if you do any prerunning in BFE...one of few stupid parts that will leave you stranded pretty quick.Travisfab wrote:95 Bronco

Re: What is this chingadera?
go to www.rjminjectiontech.com they carry all the pins, connector bodies, etc.. for Ford. If you don't get a good connection as Phoenix states, it will haunt you like a bad case of poison oak.

Re: What is this chingadera?
A couple of things, first:
http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/sho ... p?t=183668
Second,
If you've got a '95, you likely also have the wrong ignition control module installed in that heat sink. The one you have is a GRAY 'push start' type module. 94's to 96's most universally need a BLACK 'CCD type' module. Do NOT use ANY parts store's reference numbers to give you the correct part - you must refer to this thread for the only correct unit for your truck (Motorcraft - DY1077 (supercedes DY679, DY667, DY645)).Travisfab wrote:You can see how a couple wires pulled out, I can fix it, but it's going to be pretty tough

Second,
Are you sure an EEC-IV system will run without the TFI module? I thought the MSD box will run alongside the TFI but not without it.hobbyturnedobsession wrote:Hahah yeah unless you go to an ignition control box like mad or the like.
