taurus...   YAMAHA....   cool..... did you use thermal compound behind the ignition module on the intake manifold..??????


Got spark???   use a timing light.. to check for spark.. this removes the need to unplug a spark plug wire..

Got Fuel pressure?  can you hear the pump???   do you have a fuel injection pressure gauge??

are all the grounds tight..   like the ones on the radiator core support.???

if you have both spark and fuel pressure..

got a NOID light??? so you can check the fuel injector pulse..???

do you have the ability to run a KOEO test to check for codes.. or are you lucky enough to have an OBD2 connector under the dash so you might be able to see live data stream from the ECM...

this is where i would start...  besides making sure that the factory ?  alarm is NOT triggered.. or the after market alarm is not triggered...

about 10 years ago.. everybody ran out of those intake mounted ignition modules..   people were scrounging wrecking yards for them to keep customers on the road..

i think that autozone has wiring diagrams online for that engine control system...

you probably have a manual already.

there are a bunch of groups online for taurus SHO owners.. and people are turning them 90 degrees and installing some in hotrods..
