1987 Sport Coupe is here, pics page 2! Reply #35 – April 18, 2007, 02:09:22 PM Stupid Sport! How do you guys work on these 5.0's?? There's so much stuff in the way! Anyways, I replaced the inertia switch on a hunch, and got fuel to spray from under the hood like crazy at the schrader valve. There's air outside. And the #8 spark plug wire will zap through a screwdriver onto the shock tower. Hmmm, still no start (turns over forever). SO I hook up trusty scan tool, got a 21, 23, 24, 10, and 11 (KOEO only obviouisly). So 23 is TPS, great! I have a new one leftover from my Cougar a billion years ago, so I replaced it and checked the voltage. I took of the air hose and looked at the TB, looks OK, so I spray some starting fluid down it (yum). STILL no start! WTF? So I drag the neighbor over to turn the sucker, hool up the timing light, no dice. Timing is right on the money. Unless both HG's are blown to smithereens I can't figure this beast out. Anybody have an SO EEC for cheap :hick:I crawled under it agai, DEFINATELY an 8.8 and the sway bar is the same thickness as Layla's. It has quad shock mounts too (but no quads). The rust is pretty gnarly underneath, mostly the trunk floor and the front k-member/shock area. The rock hit on the passenger sill is BAD too, it actually ripped through the floorboard and tore off the fuel lines. The fuel lines are replaced, but the mounts are all gone. .PS, Vinnie wuz right on the door cups :( Quote Selected
