Ignition Checks: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For circuit identification, see wiring diagram in the WIRING DIAGRAMS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

NOTE: If an ignition failure occurs, ignition system may operate with limited ability using Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM). When this occurs, trouble codes should be present, engine may be hard to start and dwell, and timing will not change.

NOTE: To identify ignition system type by application, see the ENGINE/VIN ID article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
