    If I ever buy another 5.0, the first thing I am doing is all at once fuel pump/ filter. PIP TFI coil rotor plugs and wires and injector o-rings. all cheap and easy stuff that will give you absolute headaches trying to troubleshoot

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    Thanks. These cars can definitely do some head scratching stuff. Im going to retry the MSD coil just to see if maybe it needs a strong input signal to fire. I think the root cause was the PIP.

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    Pip was loose and wiggled with each window of the rotor. Replaced entire distributor and it runs stronger than before. I would hate to have to pay a mechanic to do all that for me.

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    seems to be heat related, probably nuked the new tfi because i scrimped on the grease. by scrimped, i mean i scraped the old grease off the old tfi and put it on the new tfi, because i forgot to get the grease at the store, lol.

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    that is tits, thanks. the ohm test that failed on the TFI was hall effect power to run power in. I believe on the attached manual pic at the bottom it is the one saying pip power to tfi power. b to 4 at this site: http://351winsor.com/joel/Ignition_Systems/tfi2.html ohm test showed wide...

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    Nick, I'm running the btm, but had the same thought and pulled it out with no success. Jrich, I think so too, but don't understand the ignition system fully yet, so wanted to consult the expert before tearing the distrib apart.

    Weak Spark At Coil, No Spark At Plug

    @jrichker car sputtered then died while normal driving. Took a spark plug cable and ran it from coil to ground, with a small gap at the ground end. No spark, so I started troubleshooting no spark. Pulled the tfi and tested. One of the ohm measurements was off, so replaced the tfi. Still no...

    Fuel Lines

    uhhh... so you cut the female fitting off? I dont know if I would be cobbling together any fuel lines, especially after a gasoline fire. I cant remember how the other end attaches to the hard line.

    Fuel Lines

    you gotta post a picture of what your car looks like now at the fuel lines. I am having a hard time figuring out what you have going on.

    Need Input On A Real Good Clutch

    oh, and i have run at 10 degrees above zero ambient temp on dry roads up here, and the cold air isnt really that much more explosive than normal air.

    Need Input On A Real Good Clutch

    he just basically said you can make enough power with a stroker to split the block. or you can make enough power with forced induction to split the block. put the two together, and not only is it not the best combo, but then you might as well just buy a couple 4 cylinders and drop them from 10...

    Pop Quiz Time. Stumbling / Missing At Low Rpm With Moderate Load

    Two things acted against me, the o2 is mounted about an inch from the flange, and my car idles low with the e cam. Talking with a petroleum engineer client of mine, he said it was understandable, because a puff of fluid (think blowing out a smoke ring with a cigarettte) the pressure can blow...

    yeah, i hit a speed bump and noticed the leak right away, and thought to myself, i will fix it after i get home. drove 30 miles on the hwy with no issue. got into town and it started acting up, didnt cross my mind that an exhaust leak could make it run that bad. started checking for blown...
