Ok guys my 88 thunderbird has the climate control but it doesn't work, well everything works on the selector itself (defrost, floor, and panel all work when selected) but the fan will not switch from high to low and toggle has to stay on. When I got the car the previous owner said whoever had it before him straight wired the blower fan, it has a toggle switch for high only. When you run it for longer than a few mins the negative wire starts getting hot so i obviously only run it to defrost my window but i recently just got a new to me daily driver so its not a urgent use for it to be working but its a petty thing that id prefer to have opperating. On to my conclusions from today i got under the dash on the passenger side and following the black and orange wire that goes to the blower itself it has a plug down towards the bottom of the dash or mine was, the black wire is cut as it comes out of the plug and up to the blower has been cut and that is the hot wire from the toggle switch so I removed the black wire on the blower side and connected it to the black wire on the plug and turned the switch all the way foward to try it and nothing you could hear the heater making noises as if it were switching between panel to floor and so on but then stopped and didn't blow any air on high or low setting. I then removed the heater controls themselves and everything is plugged up tight now seen cut wires big orange goes in the plug as it should and other wire goes where it should. I plugged the toggle wire back up and it worked like it did before. Any help is very much appreciated.
i busted them out before putting the stock y pipe on so i figure that had to be why it was running so sluggish when you got into it, i guess i must have not gotten it all out and it made its way down to clog the pipes.
Just never thought the cats were the issue, an as stated before I don't have a lot of tools or money to buy tools an stuff, all the parts except the fuel pump I already had.
Okay guys I got the car fixed today got to thinking about the cats being clogged up, and unbolted the exhaust and it fired right up so I put my shorty headers and off road h pipe on it. I have to get the It to the exhaust shop now.
Ok update guys, I dropped the car off with a. Mechanics just because I'm lost. He said he took two plugs out and it would crank up an run, he changed the computer to just try it with one he had laying around he changed the distributor also with one he had laying around he said he was lost with it also said he has never had one like that. Any other thoughts guys?
yeah i have a voltmeter and a test light i have another tps sensor but its at my brothers house i have to wait for him to get back in town i was checking pulse by turning the distributor while key was on
I am just plain lost guys I've checked for vacspooge leaks and fpr leaks and nothing. Tomorrow I'm gonna check for pulse at all injectors I checked two today the two front ones I have the upper off so i will check them all tomorrow.
Tonight I set the timing way off and the car crunk and ran for about a minute total then shut off its blowing something out of the throttle body as it idles.. the timing was set at 16 advanced with the spout out I'm so lossed with this car as I said before I've had over 20 foxbody mustangs and never had these problems as I said I drove the car for about a month before it broke down doing nothing mechanically while I was driving the car. The whole time I had the car running as stated before, when you would get into the gas pedal it would act as if it were not getting enought fuel or timing was to advanced sounded like it was going somewhere but didnt and the day it broke down it did this and everytime it did it I would let out and I came to a stop and gave it gas to take off and it shut off hasn't ran since. Aside from the rough idle when its running.
The car had the distributor dropped in right and all so I know its all right.
Tonight I said screw it and took the front cover off to make sure timing chain was still right, I put a new one in it before I dropped it in the t bird.
