I bet no one can figure this one out. 3 mechanics and one Ford dealer later, no one, and I mean no one after hours of searching, can find the ICM on my 1997 stang(3.8). Checked Chilton and Haynes, checked Alldata, checked everything. Autozone(where I bought the part) says it's in the interior passenger's wheel well near the strut tower, but I've only found another module there. Help(!), I've got to change the thing; when it gets hot the car stalls - even on the highway, so it's a dangerous situation.

Well inside the passenger wheel well is the CCRM but i'll check my books and get back within 15 minutes. BRB

Well I cant find anything on a Ignition control module but I can find information about a camshaft positioning sensor. I just recently replaced one on my brothers 98 V6 . I think an ICM may be for a distributor motor. I think you picked up the wrong part buddy.They also have a CKP which is a crankshaft position sensor. If you can get a picture of this part I will be able to tell you where it goes. If it goes with your car.

The engine was replaced in 2003 or so; could it be that it was replaced with a different 3.8 style that doesn't even use an ICM??

Well its not that different other than intake manifold and probably some minor stuff but a 97 and 03 both dont show anything about a ICM. If you could get a picture I'd love to help you out.
