depends on early or late model. lots of early models will just shut off while driving down the road etc, and never start again. cant rmember right now on late ,mind is on another project, sorry
The only way I can explain it is to follow the wiring from your coil pack (where the spark plugs are) and the wires plug into the ignition module. Also go go www.wrenchead.ca and it has a manual that explains all. if you don't know the answer to a question please keep your moth shut ,please don't waste my time
your control module did go out.
In the front of the motor by the transmission dipstick. This is where your spark plugs from the engine go.
the ignition module is on the distributer(the thing all the spark plugs wires go to)
ignition module is located under the distributor, where the spark plugs come out to go to the spark plugs, remove 6 bolts that hold the 3 capped distributor on, unplug the wires from both ends of module, 3 plugs, lift module out, nothing holds it in after distributor is removed, plug new module in, replace distributor.
Hey there, I'm looking at the service manual for Contour/Mystique right now and it says the automatics have a separate ignition control module and the ignition control module for standard transmissions are fully incorporated into the vehicle computer.You mean your after market manual.There is no module in a 1997, auto trans or stick. My crank sensor was getting no voltage to it and i spent a day looking for that module,come to find the wires that connect to the sensor go directly to the computor. Im sure there is a module in one of the years the manual covers for auto trans but not a 1997 2.0 contour/mystique.
in a lot of cases its the ground connection or the grease is missing under the module
What exactly is going on with the car that is making you believe that the ignition module is bad to begin with? Does it not turn over, no power, are there any lights that come on the dashboard? What kind of key is used in this car? Does it have a "chip" in the key?
To replace the ignition module in your Celebrity: Unplug the wires, take note of where they go so you can put them back in the correct place. Remove the screws that hold the ignition module in place. If the old module was coated with dielectric grease on the mounting surface put fresh dielectric grease on the replacement ignition module. Put the new ignition module in place and attach with the screws. Plug the wires back in their respective places.
Not sure what the symptoms are, but I am guessing you are referring to the anti-theft module. It is located in the ignition cylinder lock. It is common for this to go bad in the Grand Am and other GM products. Not sure what the symptoms are, but I am guessing you are referring to the anti-theft module.

The regulator is attached to the wires coming out of the starter / generator, and depending on year, may be integrated into the ignition control module(ICM).
