BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Special thanx to EricCoolCats for showing me to this site.:bowdown:

No code 11 is not good. It would mean the program in the EEC is not running.
When you turn the key on without starting the car the fuel pump should run for 1 or 2 seconds. If it runs continuously, that's another indication the EEC's program is not running.

I'm guessing a code scan tool gave the "no codes stored" message.

Try the other methods of pulling codes.
Use "therangerstation" link that daminic posted
In the computer section, EECIV diagnostics.

If you think it may be the eec, I have one from my '88 Sport I no longer use or need. If you want to borrow it to test, then pay shipping, and I'll send it to you. PM me if interested ;)

no, i have about 40psi @ the rail tho, i put a new exhaust on it, all the way back, put a coil on it, and now it will sit and idle all day but as soon as i give it gas, it dies out, i think its throttle position sensor, im trying that today. i also replaced the IAC motor, do those need to be reset on our foxbirds?

now what!?

i went to take it off the lift at work, its 4 arms on the side, with the bump underneath, now it wont even get up that hill...it drove in and it will start shaking and die, any other ideas, no new codes

well i found something out, the gauge i was using rest at 10 and i only had 30psi! is that enuff to run it well or no?

hello, new guy

Are you checking it with the vac line on or off the regulator? It should be 39-40 psi with the vac line off the regulator @ idle.
