About a month ago the car died on the freeway. It was running on 5 cylinders, so I replaced the Ignition Coil Pack. That worked fine but later that night the car died again and I was told I needed to replace the ignition control module. Done. Since then, the car has lacked power, for example I can only reach 18 miles per hour uphill, and I have a serious loss of flatland acceleration too. I have tried flooring it and once I get to 2100 RPM the car will not accelerate until I release the pedal. At 2100 RPM, the engine makes a steady, loud noise, sounds like a lot of air (just a thought) and after a while there is a faint burning smell. Any suggestions on what it might be?
The smell is coming more from the front of the car. I also replaced the catalytic converter about 2 months agoThe smell is coming more from the front of the car. I also replaced the catalytic converter about 2 months ago

Have you replaced the timing belt? if not i would highly recommend doing so. these cars need to have the timing belt replaced before it breaks otherwise it can and will cause major engine damage.
the air fuel control mod can cause the prob you are having 1990 to 2000 ford rangers are bad about doing what yours is doing and it is always that air fuel mod

Not hard at all. Seven bolts and one connector. No computer work. But you need to know if it is the front coil or back coil. Front coil for cylinders 2, 4, 6. Rear for 1, 3, 5.
it is part of the ignition system. the ignition system provides spark to ignite the fuel/air mixture at precisely the right time in the correct cylinder. If you have a coil pack you dont have a distributor and the ignition gets its reference from the crank position sensor.
If you have a coil pack with 6 cyl. 3 coils in one One coil for 2 cylinders One of the coils in the pack has gone bad. To verify this check which cyliders are missing and see if they match any pair on the coil pack. If so the coil should be replaced. Hope this helped. Moe
I had the same thing happen on a 91 Olds 88. Replaced crank shaft position sensor, coil, and ignition module. That solved the problem. I think the culprit was the CSP Sensor, but changed all three so can't say for sure.
I own the same car. I would need more info on what happened to be begin with why you think it is the ignition coil. Your car has an "ignition" ecm (engine control module), on top of that sits your "coil pack" which holds your spark plug wires. If you changed them and crossed your wiring that could be your problem. Let me know I may be able to help you. I just changed both parts on my car a month ago.
