Ok here is the deal I have a 1987 ford thunderbird turbocoupe 2.3. I have changed the plugs wires cap rotor coil Fuel pressure regalotor fuel filiterand the car still shuts off when comming to a stop sign what could it be. Just wondering if it could be the ECT. please help. Thanks.
Codes?
X2... Also suspect the IAC/IAB may need cleaned...
thanks but what is the IAB.
if wondering i did change the EGR AND IAC before i put the car away for winter still had a problem when put away trying to barrow a scanner for this weekend hopefuly will have codes thanks.
what is the base idle set on?
where is the base idle screw at.
the base idle screw is on the throttle body. the real trick is knowing how to set the base idle correctly. also make sure you don't have a blown intake hose or something. i had the same problem and it turned out to be the hose between the turbo and the intercooler. replaced that hose and all as good.
you dont need a scanner.
A paper clip and a test light is all that you need.
the info is in my diy link on how to hook up the paper clip jumper and the test light.
Are the fans working properly,had the same problem when i had my 2.3l turbo.
It turned out to be the engine tem sensor in the upper intake.
Fixed the stalling and the fan problem all in one.
the fans come on when the car is cold and when the gauge is in the middle.
i have codes KOEO self test 23, 85, 88, 27, 42, and 72 KOER self test 23, and 25 hope this helps to find the answer to the problem
