Pulled the eec and opened it,up and it looks fine, no burns no,black marks or anything. Tested the wiring between the computer and ,y tps and it looks good so im out of ideas again.
I cleaned the hell out of my iac, the tfi was replaced three weeks ago. No we tried to pull codes but it doesnt work which is why we think its, the computer
Haystack hooked me up with a new pip, though now we are thinking its computer related. Im going to yank out mine today to see if its got any bad connections.
ok first off, it started dying when I would stop, at first it started right back up. I looked on here and decided to clean my iac. I cleaned my iac and drove for about a mile before it died suddenly. I have cleaned the iac, replaced the ths, new fuel filter and pump, new tfi. I checked iac and tps and their respective wires with a volt meter and they all checked out. Now the car is out front of my friends house and it will randomly start, and drive until i take my foot off the gas then it will die and wont start again for several minutes. I have no idea what to do now and I have no money to start buying parts hoping to stumble upon the solution. any ideas?
So I have known haystack for several years now and I've heard him talk about this cougars and thunderbirds and I've never given the cars much thought. I wrecked my 89 mustang a few weeks ago, and haystack convinced me to check out a t bird that was for sale in the area. Its an 87 thunderbird, 183000 miles on it. The body is in, great condition, there are a few really small rust spots on the trunk that are maybe the size of a dime. The interior is in good condition aside, from the headliner which is ripped up. The aod tranny in it is missing overdrive but we plan on throwing a t5 in it. I picked the car up for $700 and so far we have thorn thrown 2 fuel pumps at it(airtex pump broke in one day so we replaced the replacement with a delphi). We put a new tfi in, as well as a fuel pressure regulater. I need to replace the exhaust system from the cat back. Over all its a bit of work but I do, love my new tbird.
