6 If adjustment is necessary, stop the engine.
Slacken the distributor clamp bolt and turn the
distributor body slightly. To retard the ignition
(move the mark nearer TDC) turn the
distributor body clockwise, and vice versa to
advance the ignition. Tighten the clamp bolt
and re-check the timing.
7 When adjustment is correct, stop the engine
and disconnect the timing light. Reconnect the
vacuum pipe, when applicable, and reconnect
any “octane adjustment” wires.
DOHC engine
8 The ignition timing for this engine is
controlled by the ESC II or EEC IV module and
no adjustment is possible.
SOHC and 2.8 litre V6 engines
1 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2 Disconnect the distributor multi-plug.
3 On V6 models only, make alignment marks
between the distributor body and the engine.
Slacken the distributor clamp bolt and swivel
the distributor to make the module securing
screws accessible.
4 Remove the two screws which secure the
module (see illustration). These screws are
deeply recessed. The screws seen here have
Torx heads; ordinary hexagon heads have also
been encountered, and to undo these a thin
socket or box spanner will be required.
5 Pull the module downwards and remove it.
6 When refitting, coat the rear face of the
module with heat sink compound to Ford spec
815F-12103-AA. This is extremely expensive,
so it may be worthwhile trying to obtain a
smear from a friendly dealer or auto
electrician.
7 Plug the module into the distributor and
secure it with the two screws.
8 On V6 models, return the distributor to its
original position and nip up the clamp bolt.
9 Reconnect the distributor multi-plug.
10 Reconnect the battery and run the engine
to check for correct function.
11 On V6 models, check the ignition timing
and then finally tighten the distributor clamp
bolt.
DOHC engine
12 The ignition module is located in the left-
hand front corner of the engine compartment,
beside the air cleaner housing.
13 To remove the module, first disconnect
the battery negative lead.
14 To improve access remove the air cleaner
housing.
15 Release the locking lug and disconnect
the ignition module wiring plug (see
illustration). Pull on the plug, not on the
wiring.
16 Remove the two securing screws, and
remove the module from the engine
compartment.
17 Refitting is a reversal of removal, ensuring
that the underside of the module and the
corresponding area of the body panel are
clean.
2.4 & 2.9 litre V6 engines
Note: Removal of the ignition module requires
the distributor to be disturbed.
18 The ignition module is mounted onto the
side of the distributor.
19 To remove the module first disconnect the
battery negative terminal.
20 Carefully disconnect the distributor wiring
connector.
21 Make alignment marks between the
distributor mounting and cylinder block then
scrape the sealant from around the distributor
clamp bolt and slacken but do not remove the
bolt.
22 Rotate the distributor to gain access to the
ignition module retaining bolts.
23 Slacken and remove the two retaining
bolts and carefully slide the module
downwards to disengage it from the
distributor, taking great care not to damage
the module wiring pins.
24 Apply a coating of the special Ford heat-
sink compound (Part number 815F-12103-AA,
available from a Ford dealer This is extremely
expensive, so it may be worthwhile trying to
obtain a smear from a friendly dealer or auto
electrician) to the rear of the ignition module
and carefully slide the module into position on
the distributor. Note: Do not force the module
