I can not answer the question about the internal module battery. But wanted to suggest that when you changed the crank sensor you might want to lightly clean off the rust on the crankshaft pulley damper. The pickup sensor for the crankshaft needs to detect the magnet in the damper to fire the pulse. You have 10 years of rust build-up on that part.

I learned of this condition through working with old lawmmowers and tillers. In the off season the crank damper would rust and the engines would not fire. Sanded the parts and instantly there was spark to the system,

SOURCE: car wont start

I noticed you replace the crankshaft sensor, but not the CAMshaft sensor.
The Ignition module takes the input of both sensors to tell the coil when to energize.
This sensor should come up as an error code when you attach a obd reader.
Even if your light is not on - there may be a code. If it is not your vehicle originally, some people pull the bulb!

SOURCE: car has no spark or injector pulse(new ecm,crank sensor)

Check the fuse for the injectors, some vehicles have the injectors and coil running on the same circut, at the same time check the fuse for the ignition.

SOURCE: 1996 S-10 cranks but no fire

did you check to see if fuel pump is pumping. fuel filter isnt clogged is it? but you're sure there is no spark. because if there is spark it could be air flow problems.
and you changed the ignition switch so that's not it, how about the starter. is there any noise coming from the starter when you turn key? if it isn't lined up right.
there has to be spark if you did what you said take off a wire at night and try it . electricity to start goes, ign switch battery starter(is there a relay on s10s cant remember), the alternator is here also.to coil/distributor to wires to plugs to gasoline

also it could be the wires coming from the battery , check them for corrosion. if they are really corroded could be problem. and make sure your ground is good contact. ive seen corrosion inside wires causing no spark.
just a few ideas to check.

What's the cylinder numbers on a 2002 lincoln ls

1,2,3
4,5,6 V6

1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8, V8

front to back

#3 is third from front on pass side either motor

Spark Plug is not what causes a misfire, if you have PO303
Bad COP Coil & maybe not the same cyl as the code

Lincoln mark 8 starts but won't stay running

Yeah... particularly the O2 sensors.. running rich ... weak
and intermittent...

Been there... Ultimately gave up a took mine to dealer.
After floundering around (and seeing I had already been EVERYWHERE they were looking) for two weeks...

They found one of the catalytic converters was collapsing blocking the exhaust... (jobbed it ou to a local muffler shop).

I have still never identified an elegant way to diagnose this issue...

Got to a point where it would not run...

At that point (had I known) I would have liked to try to remove the catalytic converter at the header to see if it would actually run
(CAN'T... one piece)

Liquid wrench, & ear plugs would figure prominently in this process...

ELSE
do look up you muffler & cat prices BEFORE going to an EXHAUST SHOP ($$$$)...

I figure I paid $1700 where a mere $700 would have been pricy
(installed... I bet you can do better).

I hav a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8, my AC works, but no heat. What is the problem?

Completely separated systems: the cool comes from an evaporator powered by the compressor, the heat from a radiator from the cooling fluid heated by the engine. If you don't have heat then either the radiator / heater or the controlling valve are clogged or respectively blocked shut. Try to clean them by running a radiator cleaning solution. If that fails the dash will have to be removed to access the heater to remove it and valve for a thorough cleaning and/or replacement.

The starter was replaced, but the gas needle moved clockwise to the stopper. The gas needle move the other way around, passed the full mark. I think it is a change in polarity?

Hello: I have had that occur several times, if you will get a strong magnet you can pull the needle back around to the correct position. (leave key off) If that don't work you will have to remove the cluster, remove the clear cover from the cluster and carefully move the needle back to the correct position. (this usually occurs when you connect the battery with the key on. (DO NOT CONNECT BATTERY WITH KEY ON IN ANY VEHICLE)

Does my 1990 lincoln mark VII have a solid state blower motor speed controller and if it does where could i get one

Have you called Lincoln-Mercury dealer? I had one go bad on a Grand Marquis LS and I never replaced it.
It can probably be wired around if a person is savvy on DC wiring. I know it cost a few hundred a decade ago. don-ohio

I don't know where the plugs are in my towncar. 4.6 2001. I have a miss in the motor . I have not had it tuned up as they say you can go 100.000 . I have 93,000. Or should I take it to the shop?

No where does it say you can go 100,000 miles on any product

Spark Plugs ---get changed at 60,000 miles & not over 3 years
O2 Sensor--- the front ones only-- get changed at 100,000 miles
Trans & Power Steering Fluids --- get changed on ALL Vehicles
every 30,000 miles NEVER over 3 years ( ever )
Brake Fluid --ALL Vehicles every 2 years

No such thing as a tune- up (spark plugs --only)
Computers have done the tuning since 1980 some 32
model years

Plugs are under the COP Ignition Coils
Remove Coils,then Plugs

After engine is warm ( V 6 ) sometimes, but not always, hesitates when trying to speed up and sometimes backfires. Dealer replaced coils and plugs but can't find the problem. 2005 lincoln LS

The spark plugs get replaced around 60,000 miles
& the L/S requires a special spark plug,also
premium fuel or it will knock

If you change plugs every 3 years, then that isn't the issue

Did they remove the upper intake manifold to do the right side
spark plugs?

You never have more then 1 bad coil a year, or sometimes
2 ,but never at one time

A dealer can not work on an L/S for some reason
I own a 2004 V8 & have no issues diagnosing these problems

The front 2 O2 Sensors ,the ones in the front of exhaust converter,
get slow & get replaced at 100,000 miles

You clean the MAF Sensor with CRC MAF Cleaner

A back fire could be a lean condition from a vacuum leak
That could be around the engine or in the EVAP System

Hopefully they checked the TPS Sensor

When I refer to check, I don't mean replace,I mean test &
use an oscilloscope to back probe the sensors,not continually
make love to their scan tools,actually get involved & see what
does work & how well,then you will eventually find something
that doesn't.

The EGR Valves fail on ford products quite offten

Need to check/test fuel pressure at rail on engine,even
road test with gauge taped to the windshield & take scan
tool along to collect data.

You got sometimes & when warm,that is what they should
be working off of
You don't go after a problem ,you find out how things are
doing that do work & the drivability issue will surface.

Dealers sometimes never even road test a car or long enough
So there you go,they won't find anything

Keep in touch,I have all the manuals etc if you give me more
symptoms
