I had the same problem. A guy from Ford's told me to replace my MAF sensor whcih is attached to your air intake. Right where the air comes in there is a metal piece which is your MAF sensor. I got one out of a junk yard for about$8.00 and it works fine.
How I know it was the MAF sensor was the fact that when the Van ran it seemed to have the engine speed wander up and down slightly. Changed the MAF sensor and then the engine ran steady. You can actually hear and feel when the engine speed is wandering up and down.
This depends on whether the engine is equipped with a distributor or with EDIS (Electronic Distributorless Ignition System). If EDIS, there is essentially no adjustment. If distributor, you remove the engine cover inside the vehicle and loosen/turn the distributor like any other. Get an aftermarket manual such as Chilton or Haynes for detail of procedure.
A 1993 Ford Aerostar , 3.0L V6 engine has the distributor on top of the engine at the rear * The 4.0L has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) It has ( 1 coil pack ) that has ( 6 ) towers for the spark plug wires
mine did that. it was a sympton of an ignition problem which was solved by replacing the entire distributor.
try your ignition control sensor located in your distributor
Yes
replace wire from coil to distributor or inertia switch lower side panel under glove box.
cant turn the key ignition on my 1996 aerostar ford
One needs to look at the module in the distributor (test it)and the ESC system (sensor, module, and harness connection). Replacing the whole ignition system is expensive and much more than swapping style of distributor.
How do you replace the ignition distributor on a 93 mx6 v6 pics?
inside the distributor
the module is located on the passenger side inner fender well in the same area as the air cleaner and heater control valve
Spark plugs need replacing - ignition wires need replacing - car needs tuneup - dirty fuel injectors - fuel filter needs replacing - fuel pump is failing.In a vehicle that old (and with unknown maintenance history) it could be any or a combination of several of the above factors,- - - - -There are no ignition points - the rest is correct.- - - - -Added: Sorry - brain slip - what I meant to say was distributor ignition ROTOR.
