Once again it depends on the TUNE . Most TFI failures are the direct results of a bad tune and not location. That is why installing low OHM wires ETC kills the unit. Always check the tune. But remember the new TFI modules are not original Motorcraft. They are all KNOCK OFFS. Or sourced out for FORD. Cool Cat has the remote unit available from ford. Came on many different Ford models and engines. They were even on mustangs. Jay note the size and thickness of the heat sync. By the way you can buy all those components from ford even the PIP with extended leads and work with that other than extending to ones on the stock dizzy PIP mounted TFI unit. I think it is from a 95 mustang 5.0 that has what is needed.

Check spark plug wires…I've had that happen before with the occasional bucking.
.

actually the random bucking is a post Vinnie up up sometime last year maybe??? I chimed in and said I had the same thing going on. Wires are new ford ones,, over time have done all the basics tune up parts to whittle away at the issue. of course recently the big bux put on fomoco parts.. unfortunately tom is saying these TFI's from for are no good.

He confirmed by way of the part number I posted in my tfi picture that these are no good.. still cant confirm there were recalls though but according to Tom they are no good per his local resources.

They have to,be because FORD can not sell them because they mount incorrectly. Once tightened up they bend not only the spade tips also the receiving terminals. I found this out the hard way. I would never steer you wrong Jay. I am not like that. ford dealer took them back and gave us new ones for free. The new ones are vendor units and have Motorcraft on them but they clearly are stamped CHINA. Blue streak makes a good replacement i have used them successfully over the years. And remember there are 2 different types. Actually 3 but only 2 in GRAY. The other is Black and obvious. remember Auto modules are NON PUSH START. I always use push starts on everything. thanks and have a great evening guys.

Push starts are in fact for the stick units. I will have to check the parts trailer to see if i have more. If i do i will send it to you jay. I will look on Monday. Like i said it was a while ago. I know i have a few Blue Streaks i saw them last month. Have a great weekend Guys

Ive honestly only replaced one tfi module in about 11 years of driving these cars.

IF I get my way and actually get to do a winter build, I would like to add the heatsink mod though.
