It just died! FIXED Updated 7/28/2010 Reply #30 – July 09, 2010, 01:39:44 PM What about your engine ground? Heh, it's worth a shot. I had a geo metro that acted funny because the engine ground lug was corroded. Quote Selected
It just died! FIXED Updated 7/28/2010 Reply #31 – July 09, 2010, 05:06:52 PM I just double checked it. All four of them that I have now. Don't find any problems with the grounds. I did do some searching and over a turbo ford they said the TPS out of wack can cause something like that. Well Checked and it is set at .97volts and has no drop out in the full range all the way up to 5volts. I unplugged it and did my run until she dies and still dies once she gets warmed up. Humm still plugin away slowy sometime I'll get this lined out. Stuckman Quote Selected

It just died! FIXED Updated 7/28/2010 Reply #33 – July 11, 2010, 05:27:15 PM I hate to say it but it sounds like you are at that point where finding a car with a donar harness would be cheaper and faster. Sometimes a factory harness gets so hacked up and brittle that you just cannot find the problem(s). I did a little searching and found a company that makes them brand new so it might be worth a look. Kind of pricey but the fact that someone even makes them new is a miracle:http://thedetailzone.com/Ford%20Replacement%20Harnesses.htmThe wiring harness is about 3/4 the way down the page. They also make 5.0 harness and all kinds of other ones. I checked Painless but they do not show one for the 2.3L. They make a great harness for the 5.0L which I have.Darren Quote Selected
It just died! FIXED Updated 7/28/2010 Reply #34 – July 28, 2010, 09:50:45 AM I've got this all worked out. I found that the PIP"pickup" was over heating and shutting down. I had a new one and a used one. Both did it. Found out the new one was Toast. After replacement I let her run for 20+ min in the driveway. She ever shut down. So Yesterday I took her out and got and inspection. Passed right away then a quick trip to the DMV and She all legal again. Nice to have my birdie back.Stuckman Quote Selected
It just died! FIXED Updated 7/28/2010 Reply #35 – July 28, 2010, 11:57:38 AM It didn't throw a code for the pip? The one in my 95 died and didn't throw a code. I replaced it and the car has been fine since. Quote Selected

What caused it to be fried?Well I guess it isn't really fried it will work for bit then heat up and shut down. After hours and hours of probing wires and swapping parts. I took back the A1-Cardone Dizzy that I purchased and warrantied it out for another unit and that fixed it right up. Why this happened I don't know. I guess something in the PIP went south and caused it to heat up and stop sending the Signal to the TFI. Just glad its all back in working order. Now on to the many other task that need to be tackled. Stuckman Quote Selected
