Q: 1996 mercury grand marquis Crank, no start

asked by on May 23, 2017

I'm having a crank no start problem with my vehicle. I have checked numerous ignition coils fuses battery distributor box. I cannot locate the Edis ignition module or the TFI - IV ignition module I believe these two may be the problem as well maybe as a fuel pump or just one of them. Can someone explain to me where to locate the Edis module and the TFI - IV module
