hey i fixed my TC today! August 21, 2012, 09:30:52 PM its a daily driver, i enjoy driving it, but not necessarily enjoy fixing stuff under the hood. so when the missing and stalling kept getting worse i figured i better have a look see. i had changed plugs a while ago so i knew that wasnt it. luckily within 2 minutes of the hood being open i spotted my coil wire at the dist cap was loose. when i removed it dusty crud all fell out of it. well i cleaned up the terminal, popped a wire on ( with some dielectric grease) and its good as new again. I was getting ready for another 4 page long thread of unsolveable driveability issues, and it was something simple after all. lifes good again! Quote Selected

hey i fixed my TC today! Reply #2 – August 22, 2012, 01:09:39 PM The thing that seems to get me, is that my mind likes to tell me that "It wasn't that long ago, I put those in or that I tuned it up, ect.. When in fact, it's been years. Kinda like when my mind is always telling me I'm still twenty..... Quote Selected

hey i fixed my TC today! Reply #6 – August 22, 2012, 08:53:42 PM ok now its fixed. i replaced the rest of the wires with oem motorcraft wires. a couple of them had rubbed through under the intercooler. my latest test drive had no missing and was a hoot! Quote Selected

hey i fixed my TC today! Reply #8 – August 23, 2012, 12:37:14 AM TBS302, Man, I wish you hadn't said that! Now I'm going to have to look at buying a new set also. Mine are probably about 5-6 years old. Mine still look new, does that count? Quote Selected
