see if there is a small coil in the bottom of the distributor, you have to pull the distributor out to replace it
Have you checked for fuel and spark? Fuel pumps ad burnt ignition rotors are very commen on these vehicles

Have you checked your plug wires? Your injector harness's with a noid light? Your Ignition control module? Just some suggestions.
Remove the wiring harness from your 1995 Chevy Blazer ignition control module. Remove the ignition control module retaining screws. Reverse the process to install your new ignition control module.
As in all Ford eletronic thermostat cabin controls, they either get stuck on one temperature setting or it can't read temperatures at all, therefore it runs at full speed. Needs to be checked out/replaced to run correctly.
You have an ignition Control Module that you can check that controls ignition timing Throttle Position Sensor that tells the computer where the throttle is so it can regulate and give the correct air fuel ratio.
Regarding a model 1997,2 liter sonata, there is not an ignition control module as such. Ignition control comes from the ECM (ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT) through the Ignition Power Transistor (often called Igniter) and then to the Ignition coil.I do not have any information on the 1.8 or the 3.0 liter models.
You can find the Ford Focus ignition control module beneath the drivers side dashboard. The ignition control module will be above the accelerator pedal.
