| Ignition control module failed intermittently numerous times before the problem could be identified. engine stall was instantaneous and without warning; dangerous traffic situations resulted. hot ambient temperature aggravated the problem, but the heat factor was not known until the problem was finally isolated. two ford dealers were absolutely no help in diagnosing the problem. | |||
