ISSUE:
Some vehicles may have a disconnect of the Ignition Control Module (ICM) connector or moisture buildup within the connector. This can cause hard to
start/no start, rough idle, or "check engine light" illumination concerns. The improved gasket and connector retainer that are currently used in production
are now available for service of prior model distributorless ignition systems.
ACTION:
Install new Connector Sleeve Retainer Clip and a current production seal (gasket). The clip assembles in between the connector beams and the ICM
which will prevent accidental disconnects. The new seal is a "solid silicone" gasket that provides improved resistance to moisture entry into the
connector. Refer to the ICM Connector Harness Wire Service kit (F5CZ-14A411-AA) for service details (I.S. 6621).
