Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: What are common failure symptoms of this ignition control module? A: An engine that stalls when warm, has trouble starting after hot soak, or loses spark intermittently often points to a failing module. Replacing it with this LX218 module usually resolves those issues.

Q: Is this module the same for all 1983-1993 Ford engines? A: No, some engines used different connector shapes or mounting holes, so visually compare the shape and connector with the original before installing.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
