Standard Ignition LX-244 Ignition Control Module

Ignition Control Module for Distributor Applications

Standard Ignition LX-244 is a 12-volt ignition control module for distributor-mounted applications. It is built for vehicles that need reliable coil triggering, stable signal response, and consistent ignition performance in demanding operating conditions.

Key Features

• Distributor-mounted ignition control module for electronic ignition systems
• 12-volt design with 2 connectors, female/no connector configuration
• Male blade terminals with 6 and 3 terminal layouts
• Double wire bonds for stronger internal connections and improved durability
• Copper slug heat sinks to improve heat dissipation
• High-temperature polymer housing to reduce moisture intrusion and vibration damage
• Thermal-cycle tested from -40C to +125C for extended reliability

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition LX-244 ignition control module is engineered for distributor systems that require dependable coil control and fast response from the crankshaft position sensor. Standard Ignition designs this module to energize the coils quickly when signal strength is weak, which supports easier cold-weather starting and stable ignition operation. The LX-244 also uses heat-management and housing materials selected to reduce thermal stress, moisture intrusion, and vibration-related wear. This part cross-references Delphi DS10054 and AMS Automotive 7048 for the same application.

Compatible With 1989-1995 Ford Taurus, 1989-1995 Mercury Sable, 1990-1992 Ford Probe, 1992-1994 Ford Tempo, and 1992-1994 Mercury Topaz. It is a direct-fit ignition control module option for distributor-equipped Ford and Mercury vehicles in this range, including 1989-1990 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models with California emissions.

Common Issues This Part May Resolve

• No-start or hard-start conditions related to ignition control failure
• Intermittent stalling caused by unstable coil triggering
• Weak spark or inconsistent ignition output
• Cold-weather starting problems tied to delayed coil energizing
• Heat-related module failure from repeated thermal cycling

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the distributor mounting location, connector style, terminal count, and 12-volt system specification before installation. Confirm vehicle application details for Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, Ford Probe, Ford Tempo, and Mercury Topaz models, especially California-emissions configurations where noted. Inspect related ignition wiring, distributor components, and crankshaft position sensor signals during diagnosis so the replacement module is installed into a verified fault path.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures electronic ignition products with in-process quality control from component selection through finished assembly. The LX-244 is durability tested through 500 thermal cycles from -40C to +125C to help validate performance in high-heat and vibration-prone environments.
