Hi,

93 Taurus 3.8 wagon.

Can someone tell me where to find the "Profile Ignition
Pickup". Haynes manual gives no clue.

Is it in the Distributor or is it mounted somewhere on the flywheel
bellhousing.

Thanks,
Al Moodie.

I am getting a historical code 211 "Profile Ignition Pickup circuit
fault". However I managed to find the pickup myself and it has been
replaced.

Current fault code is 534 "Fuel Pump Open Circuit, Battery to ECA"
which I am told is usually results from a faulty "Constan Control
Relay Module" CCRM. So I am searching for a replacement. Ford wants
$145.
