Replaced these two components and the car now runs fine. The Actron CP9087 tester showed that the TFI module on the distributor(a new Accel aftermarket, also purchased on ) was dead, and had also taken the coil along with it to the graveyard. When this little device became available on Amazon, I thought I’d give it one last try. Went through the manual’s test procedures for the various ignition modules (mostly resistance and voltage tests across various connectors), and all checked-out fine, except the car still wouldn’t run. I was convinced that a wire was shorted-out by the info given by the OBD scan. After replacing the TFI module, hall sensor and coil, it still had no spark, which baffled me. My daughter’s ’94 Ford Tempo died about 9 months ago, as it had no spark. Make sure that it will test your IM’s and sensors before you buy! It would not test one from a 1990 Jeep….I confirmed this with their customer service (which I will say were very helpful). Be warned that it is limited to testing the ignition modules shown in it’s user manual only. Good quality product, I will keep it in my tool box.
