possible tfi falure again....SOLVED!!! Somewhat.. New development inside. Reply #15 – April 22, 2010, 12:16:54 PM im positive it hasent because if it did there would be a puppies of belt missing and i have found none. and i took the one tfi i had put on had it tested and it did fail. So i had it warenteed and now its a new one on there that works. Plus last night comming home from work the car was running 45 mph at 2000rpm and if were to try to go faster the car would buck like crazy. Almost like it was running out of spark. i wonder if the coil wire i have on there now (used) could be the culprit. Quote Selected

Reply #18 – April 22, 2010, 08:12:20 PM I had a similar problem with my 88 turbocoupe.I installed accel wires and a brass terminal cap.When I would take off from a light,the car would accelerate hard then buck and fall flat on its face.I went to Ford and purchased the stock Motorcraft wires,and never had a problem again,even at 21 psi!

The line that goes to the cruise servo might be damaged ( if you have one) it rubs on the frame through the fender wall Quote Selected
possible tfi falure again....SOLVED!!! Somewhat.. New development inside. Reply #21 – April 22, 2010, 09:11:38 PM cleared all codes but i didn't check that vac line... Will do when daylight breaks too dark now. before i got 2 codes code 81 and 83. 83 was the one im confused on. 81 i know is the ircm that has all the wires messed up to. I should see if anyone has a good engine harness for the tc. Quote Selected

Reply #24 – April 22, 2010, 09:38:42 PM did you gap your plugs to .032-.036? also check your TPS voltage by probing the green wire for power and the black one for ground, time the engine to 10* with the spout disconnected, pull the vacuum line off of the FPR and see if it smells of gas.. if so its bad.

Reply #27 – April 22, 2010, 09:49:50 PM had similar problems a while back but I cant remember what I did to fix it. are you running autolite 764 plugs? they seem to work the best in the TC's and also the motorcraft plug wires Quote Selected
possible tfi falure again....SOLVED!!! Somewhat.. New development inside. Reply #28 – April 22, 2010, 09:51:42 PM voltage on the TPS needs to be between .97v and .99v also check to make sure your intercooler couplers are tight Quote Selected
