Car always starts when cold. When drive and car reaches operating temp, I park and come back 10 or15 min, s later, it will crank but not start, I put ignitionwire in spark tester-2 metal prongs about 1/4"apart with ground'g clip.I put a piece of paper between points and there was no mark or hole.I.E. There was no spark. This problem was intermittant-now it allways happens, IT ALWAYS STARTS WHEN IT'S COLD!-Needle must go all the way to the blue cold dot on temp guage. Engine lite does not appear when car running-only when turn key to on-which I think it always did. Everybody says computer(Big$) but what about ignition module, or crank sensor.I'm giving donation=maybe more. Ralphny104@nyc. Rr. Com

I would lean more towards the module, fords are known for em, your description is usually how it goes, until one day it wont start at all, be aware, on distributor models, they go bad as well.
