tfi. Its the little plug in on the front of the distributor. You will need a "special" peice of shiznit aluminum tool to get the steal bolts out. I stripped two "tools" before I got one bolt out. Luckily they took it back with out any questions 3 times in about 2 hours.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I have an 86 cougar with CFI and 67,000 miles. I've been working through and solving problems lately similar to yours. Can you reply and provide more info and symptons recently about what is happening ?
