Post by: Dartman1074 on November 24, 2005, 09:46:17 PM
Hi
I have a 90 Cougar XR7 With a SuperCharged V-6. We was heading down the Interstate and it just Died when I tried to start it. It tured over like it had no Fire I had it towed home and still no start 4 to 5 Hrs later I tried it again and it started up ANY Idea's On what it could be ? I was thinking it was the ICM "Ignition Module/Control Unit" Please Help...

could be the ignition module,.... I would get a code reader from a freind or something, or take it to a mechanics. I have delt with that before, tried to fix it on my own, and in the end it was a bad ignition switch(that isnt your problem, just a similar experiance).

Car is all better now it was the crank sensor. So just under 40 buck's and a few not so calm moments it's all back to normal.. Thankx for the help...
