Same part, 94 to 96. See if they have one available for a newer truck.

 

It's a separate part and you can get it at the auto parts store. May have to ask for it under something more along the lines of a distributor pickup or ignition pickup.

 

Mine wont flash at all unless it has something more to say than 12 or 55.

 

Could it be called the pick-up coil? The picture on Autozone's website looks the same as the picture in the book.

 

Same thing...

 

Others with more knowledge will answer, but I believe that is your part.

 

+1 on it being called pickup coil.

 

I know I'm talking apples-oranges here, but I have a 2.9L Ford that had exactly the same symptoms. Would start right up when cold or when I let it sit for a while. Would crank over great but wouldn't start after being driven until I let it sit a while.

To make a long story short, the problem was resolved by changing out the el-cheapo Wal-Mart battery cables with some decent ones with the molded ends. This was about 3 years ago, and haven't had the problem since.

Just another thought.

 

So I changed out the pickup coil and that worked, but . . . I have a new problem now. I drove it home from work today and it just cut off in the parking lot. Checked fuel pressure, and it's fine. The truck will turn right back off after it cuts off, and run for a few seconds, then die again. It doesn't shake or sputter. Just turns off. No code either, though it may not have been driven long enough. I checked the IAC and it was pretty bad, so I replaced it. It seems to cut off when it idles down to its typical idle speed, about 700 RPM. I was told to try and take the MAP off and see if it will run in a closed loop. Any thoughts????????

 

Did you clean out the IAC port? And disconnect battery while changing IAC?
