the '83-'84's have an ornament that stands up, the '85-'86's lay flat on the header panel... maybe it is just the emblem that was changed?


81-83 for small stand up ornament.

the box cats had stand up ornaments

this is one of the simplest EFI engine setup's to work on.

Your problems are prob as simple as the CFI base plate gasket.  I love the 4eyed cougs miss mine although that dash does get a little boring to look at.  a far cry from my two 87's.  I to will talk a little and say "wish you were closer ect. The problem is that car is nearly mint for its year and would be a crime to fall into the wrong hands.  I cant get another coug,, gotta get a bird for mason and an 87/88 coug for chance.  wife wants an audi tt,, im screwed.

Thanks for the suggestion Scott.  You reminded me that I had new gaskets and a new spacer in a CFI kit I had bought.  I went ahead and replaced them even though the old ones looked fine.  While I was doing that I bumped the TPS harness and the car started stumbling and running really rich.  I moved it around some more and found that this was what was causing the poor idling at time.  There is a broken wire in the harness.  Here is a link to my Tech post; http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=26105

Thanks again!

I wish you weren't so far away...that is a beautiful car and I'd have no hesitation adding it to my stable. Maybe it's a good thing that I don't actually have the room for it LOL.

Bump!

Car now has a fully functional Tripminder and stereo from an 88 TC.  Original clock and stereo are in the trunk in case it needs to be returned to stock.  Mileage now reads 40585.  It is 63 degrees so I cleaned it up and took some pics!

You drive it out here to Ohio in May and we've got a deal. ;)

When I was 17 and my folks and I were looking for cars, we took one home for the weekend that was exactly like that ('84, dark blue, light blue interior, V6). It left an impression for sure. Only reason we didn't get the car was because the dealership couldn't settle on a firm price...they kept screwing around, up and down with the price, so we left. It's too bad because we loved the car. But things happen for a reason.

To the top!  Somebody buy this from me!

If it doesn't sell soon I may just go park it in the lemon lot on the base with a for sale sign although I hate to leave it sitting outside. 

Nice chrome mirrors...

the NADA lists it for low price $1375 ......average $ 2,300.....high  $3350 for the condtion.

for a 1990  trade in value is $750.... private sale  fair $1005.....  average  $ 1280.... excellent  $1455  for the conditions.  so a 1990 is a lower value car for some reason.

drive it out to me in salt lake, and I'll take a day or two off of work and drive it to ohio for eric if he fly's me back.

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.
