ive never fixed this before,, mine dont park either. to be honest ive never really looked into it to deep but will soon. post pics if you dive into yours.  im thinking on mine and many other owner that yes its the park contacts that need attention rather than the control module.  i could be wrong though

Just a progress photo, quarters, rockers, and jambs painted and buffed.  Working on some window trim and interior stuff. Things have slowed a little but still digging.

No codes?
Since you checked so many other things already i would check for possible failing TFI module since you have problem with warm start up.

That’s a possibility but that wouldn’t explain why my MPGs are getting worse and why it’s running rich

It’s always started for me warm and it’s never died on me so I don’t suspect it’s the TFI

Engine Tech / 1988 V6 Running Rich / Rough Idle
Last post by 88Slowbird -
over the past few months my V6 has been getting noticeably worse MPG and is harder to start up when warm
(it always starts up when it's warm but it'll take a couple tries)

on a cold start it fires right up and runs good until it gets warmed up

I've checked all over for vacuum leaks and can't find any, I've also sprayed brake clean on every vacuum line and around the intake but none made a difference

I checked the fuel pressure with the vac line on and off the FPR and it's in spec and I don't smell gas from the FPR vac line

tested the coolant temp sensor resistance when it's cold and hot and it's in spec as well

would a partially stuck open EGR cause it to run rich and idle rough?

I don't believe the 88 V6 has an air temp sensor so I'm not sure what else to check that would cause this other than the ECU possibly going bad

It cooled right down below 0 a couple days after I sprayed and stayed there,  just today getting back to normal with some above normal temps again next week.

My friend that did the instrument cluster milled those coil covers and powder coated everything for me. First time I saw them I told him I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make the rest of the car worthy of them.

Those valve covers look phenomenal with the Thunderbird on them.

Hope it stays warm for you.  We've been in a deep freeze in the northeast.
