The ICM is the grey long plastic piece attached to your distributor. This is where the plug is attached for controlling spark.
3.8 liter motor's ICM is remote mounted - on the firewall to avoid the heat issue.
AnswerLook at the distributor. There will be a module on the side that is either grey or black, and is about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. It is held onto the distributor with two 7/32(5.5 mm) screws back inside of two holes on the module. You will have to get a thin wall socket to access them. I use a 1/4 drive deep well Sears Craftsman socket to get them off. NOTE: 7/32nds inch and 5.5MM are the same size, so either will work. 3.0 ICM Overheats(from the "Related Question" below)The 3.0 liter Taurus - Sable engines has a known ICM problem - Ignition Control Module - even a recall was out for this issue - ICM mounts to Distributor base, runs hotter than the motor - the ICM dies early.
My issue was stalling after 2 hours freeway driving - would stall after pulling out for break or gas - OBD codes were 111 (KOEO) and after engine restarts (post cool down of 15-20 minutes, hood open) was also 111 (KOER). These are 'nothings wrong' codes. I did notice that there was NO spark when stalled, but fuel pressure was there and injectors clicked while cranking (stethoscope).
I added a 2" * 28" 'preheat duct' tube from behind left head light to an inch or so behind the ICM/distributor base. I haven't stalled since I did this. Tube cost, Napa Auto, was less than $10.00. If anyone else tries this and they might be in a traffic congested area, might want to add a 12VDC PC CPU cooling fan - about another $10-12.
AnswerThe control module is either fenderwell mounted or it is mounted on the distributor body. Try this ; go to a auto parts store and price one out and look at the part; then you will know what yours looks like. The one on the distributor will require a special wrench.
update... the ignition control module on a 1992 Mercury Sable is located on the distributor. it requires a special 5.5mm ignition module removal tool that you can find online. and don't forget the hi temp grease!!
Ahhh... The bolts troubled me for quite some time. As with all of our lovely American cars, they love to make ***special*** tools to remove what should be an easy part to remove. Instead of just attaching the module with simple Phillips screws, the engineers at Ford decided to affix it with a 5.5mm bolt. ***however*** since the bolt is recessed about 1/2 inch, there are **no** deep well sockets that will reach it. So... You have to buy a ford "ignition module" tool to access those pesky bolts. I found one online for about 10 bucks. Also, don't buy the module from ford! They want over $215 dollars for it. I got one at checker for about $105.00.

∙ 16y agoFrom 1991 to 1995 with the EEC-IV system there is an external ignition control module mounted on the radiator support in front of the battery. Remove the battery in order to change the module. 1996 and newer with the EEC-V system, the ignition control module is incorperated into the powertrain control module (PCM) that is visible from the engine compartment, in the firewall, on the passenger side.

Your 1992 Chevy Caprice 5.0 has no spark and will not start what could cause this where should you look?
If you don't have spark at the plugs, or at the distributor cap, the problem is probably a faulty ignition module. This is located under the distributor cap and ignition rotor. You need test equipment to check the coils, modules and pole pieces.
Why 1992 GMC Suburban 4WD cranks but won't start intermittently when it won't start there is no voltage to the fuel pump relay no spark no pulsing of the injectors however using ether starts it?
Try replacing the ignition module. It is located in the distributor. This is what gives the PCM the reference to turn on the fuel pump, fire spark, etc.
Why would the ignition coil module keep failing on a 1992 MAZDA 626?
I have had them fail due to heat. I used a certain dilectric grease on the underside to help dissipate the heat. If not heat, then possibly a poor ground.
You have a 1992 Dodge Caravan and there are times when after driving someplace and shutting it off it won't start back up If you let it sit for an hour or so it starts back up immediately new battery?
SOMETIMES WHEN THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE GOES OR IS GOING BAD IT WOULD CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS IT MAY CAUSE MISSFIRE/MISSING,AND OR HARD OR NO STARTING. '''THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE GETS HOT'''. AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE IT'LL COOL OFF AND WORK AGAIN. IF THE BATTERY WAS BAD BY LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A WHILE WOULD REALLY MAKE NO DIFFRENCE. BATTERIES DON'T GET CHARGE JUST SITTING.(VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE ON) HOW DOES THE VEHICLE CRANKS.NORMAL,SLOW,NO CRANK?
