This failure has occurred several times-caused by overheating of the module,which is located too close to the exhaust manifold, on the distributor assembly. Several of these failures have occurred at highway speeds and in heavy traffic.. The engine simply shuts off, leaving me with no steering or brake control until the engine can be restarted (after it cools down) I have been quoted costs as high as $400 to replace the module.. I consider this to be a design defect and the responsibility of the manufacturer to repair.

June 3, l999 after taking this truck into the dealer.at this time we were told that it would cost $1100 to repair the oil pan gasket, the rear main, and there were additional ones. The engine was leaking from more than one place. Also at this time were informed that ford had redesigned all of the engine seals/gaskets. The service advisor also metioned that there had been numerous problems with the orignal seals/gaskets. I have owned many cars that have gotten to well over 150,000 miles (our honda had 230,000 miles ) will no such leaks!!!! If it had been one seal or gasket maybe I might be ok with it ,but all , and at the tune of$1100 and ford so far not taking any responsibility is beyond me. I purchased american, but unless this is resolved to my satisfaction , next car will be honda. Are there any other such cases and or can you help in any way thank you. Ak
