Engine Tech / Re: My TC is missing & bucks while accelerating when cold. Works perfect when hot
So I looked into the temperature gauge and what's happening is that the gauge stays on the cold (C) position even after driving it for over 1/2 hour around town. With the engine hot the gauge still stays on 'C'. I turn on the heat all the way to high and the gauge goes slightly over the 'C' but no more than that where it should float in the 'normal' range. I also noticed the blower blows cold air and no heat. I'm thinking the thermostat is bad and needs replacing. As for the ECT sensor, I am still trying to locate it's position.  :mad:  :yuck:  :dunno:

Engine Tech / My TC is missing & bucks while accelerating when cold. Works perfect when hot
My 88 T-bird Turbo Coupe starts and idles fine, but when driving while it's cold, the car starts to buck and miss until it worms up. Then it runs great when wormed up.

I have replaced the following: 
New plugs and wires, new Idle Control Air (ICA), clean throttle body, Distributor cap & rotor, and the Fuel Pump & filter. Could it be the TFI module or the distributer pick up? What am I missing?
 
Any help with this annoying problem would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
