Yes I made sparks. I know I don't know what I was thinking. But the Tech data worked. I had one of the wires in the relay plug out of location so we are back and running and stopping. Thanks for your help I knew it was something simple but without the tech data I would have been up a creek.
I was working on my wiring under the hood and now my ABS system does not work. The manual says there is a fuse but I can't seem to locate it. Can anyone help me?
I was leaning towards the The TFI module and the Distributor due to the car stumbling like it has lost its place. Not favorite idea to pull the distributor and rework it since it is my daily driver but you gota do what you gota due. I had a shop replace the O2 sensor and that has not fixed it. When reset the idle according to a thread on this web site it helped a lot to keep the old bird from dieing at stop lights. But when I went to reset the TPS after adjusting the Idle the measured voltage with throttle closed was around 4.5 volts then When I moved it towards WOT the voltage dropped to around 1.5 volts DC. This confused me because I was expecting it to be backwards from this. Maybe I did not check it right. Not sure if the IAT sensor is good or not. The ECT maybe a problem due to the car always showing cold unless I sit and run without moving. The ECT was replaced just prior to my purchasing the car. About 50k miles ago. You guys have given me a lot to look at and I appreciate your help. I am glad I stumbled onto your forum. Thanks again.
My 87 thunderbird turbo coupe is running very rich gas mileage has gone way down to like 16 mpg. The check engine light is on and only goes out when decelerating from highway speed with it out of gear. I have had it in the shop three times, changed out TPS twice and put in a pig tail to correct for a wiring problem, changed out the ECU and still has the problem. The ECU was a remanufactured when I took it in the third time the bird wouldn't idle at all. After changing the ECU it idled great fo the first 10 - 15 miles then it started going back to it's evil ways. The O2 sensor is new and I changed out the spark plugs and cap wires and rotor. I'm at a loss where to go from here.
