The 1992 Ford Ranger ICM is located on the firewall in the engine compartment. The ICM will be on the drivers side of the firewall.
UNDER THE COIL PACKS
right behind the intake head, where the spark plug wires come out
It could be the ICM or the pickup module.
It does have an Ignition Control Module. It is mounted under the distributer cap by 2 screws and has wires plugged into it. they are $40-$60 dollars to buy from your local AutoZone, Napa, or O'Reily Auto Parts stores. Beware: you must remove airbox and hoses to get to the ICM and it is very difficult to get out after that anyhow.
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.Steve phx AZ
Because you didn't change the rest of the ignition system. Plugs, Wires, Rotor, and Cap are a must for ICM replacement.
Remove distributor cap. remove rotor. remove icm shield. remove all wires from icm. remove two screws holding icm. pull icm strait out
You will not believe this... It is right in front of the battery, between the Radiator and the headlight. It has one screw that holds it on. Take the battery out, remove the screw and then pull it our... take the harness off after you get it out.
If your truck is like mine, the ICM is on the left fender about eight to twelve inches below the left hood spring. It will be a black device mounted in the center of an aluminum heat sink, with cooling ribs on each side of it.

looking for pin 66 on 1999 f550
Ok i found the ICM on the fenderwell, and there is a silver plate around it which it sits in, that silver plate is held on with 2 5/16" bolts, and it looks like the ICM has two screw holes but i cant see them to see what they are...any suggestions?
slightly to the left of the throttle body towards the front of the engine
The chances of having a code reader giving you a code 18 are about as great as a TFI box of a 1994 and older F-150 leaving you stranded in the middle of a desert.There's a spout signal that comes from the PCM(Powertrain control module)And calculates SAW (Spark angle word) inside the ICM. I have a ranger that was immaculate before a massive front end collision , the truck has no fenders and there's a ground pin that needs to be grounded on the backside of the ICM. If that doesn't fix the problem, there's an open spout circuit somewhere between the EEC. (PCM)And the ICM. Try finding something to give you an inside look at the ICM.
The Ignition Control Module (ICM) is located directly above the coil. If you remove the 2 bolts holding the coil on and then romove the coil mounting plate from the car you will see a small rectangular module with wires plugged into it. This is the ICM.
