It is located under the hood. You will need someone that has a scanner that will read a Ford EEC-IV system

If the problem isn't fixed the error code will keep returning. You'll need to get the ignition system checked from the spark plugs back over, (plug leads, ignition coil, etc). The injectors might need checking as well.

you need to hook up a diagnostic code retrieving tool to the aldl < assembly line diagnostic link > this is located under the instrument panel on the drivers side, plug the tester into the link, then turn on the ignition key, but do not start the vehicle, the tester will cycle through the computer , and will retrieve any trouble codes that the computer has picked up, once you have recieved the trouble code or codes, write them down, and then turn off the ignition key, and unplug the tester, then compare the codes to the code booklet, and then it will tell you what the code stands for, and then you can check those areas to see what the problem is, also if you do not have a tester, a auto part store will check this for free, hope that this information has helped you.

It could be a sensor. Most likely and commonly unless your fuel filter is plugged. Computer Check/Service engine lights are connected to the computer so any time anything electrical or electronical goes faulty, your check/service engine light will come one. You should have the car's computer hooked up to a code reader or diagnostic scanner which many part stores will test for free. This tester can tell you what's wrong with the car as well as shut off the service engine light.

There could be a hundred causes for a check engine light. First step is to hook up a computer scan tool and see what codes the computer has. The next step depends on the codes.

I have never had to replace an ALDL plug in 28 years. This includes 4 years working for a GM dealership.

Check your manual for a fuse location for the diagnostic link. Also try the generic vehicle data stream on the scanner. Is this a good scanner like a snap-on or genesis? If it a cheap one, suspect that.

Try going to an Advance or Auto=zone store and have them try to scan it.

Hope this helps
