How do you fix a p1351 ford idm circuit fault obd2 code for a 1996 f250?

Answer 1

I have a 1997 f-350, having the same code. replaced ignition module, and distributor. apparently there is some kind of pickup in the distributor - instead of taking the dist apart, opted to replace the whole thing. i was having a different code at first - cant remember what it was but the truck was dying on the road intermittenetly, after replacing the two items above the old code dissappeared and the new p1351 started showing with the check engine light on. but at least the truck doesnt die anymore, it would die and i would have to wait for about fifteen minutes before it would restart - i have some people looking into it and will re post once i get an answer - hopefully on monday

My mechanic did some research and he and a guy from the Ford Dealer say to replace the ignition modulr - which was purchased new from Auto Zone, with a genuine Ford module, that it would correct the check engine light and code, the module is $180.00 so i will have to wait till payday, it seems like its acting like a Microsoft product use only genuine parts, i find it hard to believe but I'll try it and post results here in a week or so
