I'll ask my dad, a Master Ford Tech, but you're pretty much doing what he taught me. Try a known good ign. module.

btw, I have the Ford Factory Service Program (which doesn't include the PCM manual, stupid) and I have the factory schematics. I'm an electrical engineer, so I'm very well versed with electrical systems, but I need some help from the PCM manual procedure.

this car has a distributorless ignition system. The coil gets it's spark signal directly from the PCM, and the PCM generates the spark signal based on the signal from the crank position sensor. I'ver repleaced ALL of these items, cranksensor,PCM, coil, sparkplugs and wires, and I've tested continuity from the harnesses to the PCM and grounds.

They are talking about the cam sync. There is a shaft that is like a distributor that runs the cam sync. Its on the passenger side of the motor above the water pump.
