87 2.3 DEAD AS HELL!!!

[Distortion 5.0]

My 2.3 died. All I know is that when I turn the key, the relay box wont activate. So no fuel pumpy, no other cool stuff like starting and driving.

Now, I know it's conterversial, but I have a rebuilt 88 block in my back yard, and I'm buying a turbo coupe monday with a blown motor. It is my plan to install the wiring system and turbo into the mustang with the 88 N/A block as a base. I already know I need to run low boost to avoid detonation, any other advice? (aside from DON'T DO IT, cause I gotta)

Take the fenders off the Stang, the Hood, the LX front, the Fender liners and all mounting hardware.

Send it to kiddiccarus ASAP

Hey, I was thinking about modding all that stuff over to the stang from the T-Bird. If you want it when I'm done, maybe shipping plus a little dough for the troubles, That might go down. Assuming I can fit the T-bird body stuff to the stang body in a way that satisfies me, You might just get that stuff. It's not perfect, but easily body worked to perfection. A new punching dent exists on the right* fender. A little bondo will fix that. The left side is a bit pinched from when the wheel jumped off on me, but thats really not as bad as it might sound. I wouldn't even notice it if not for the rust spot from a big chip of paint being cracked off. Front clip is all good though

Sounds like the ECU shorted or something. N/A ECUs are probably dime-a-dozen.

I swapped one I had laying around and nothing changed. But it was an 88 computer and the electrical system is 93.

My '90 did something like that after it had been sitting for awhile...somebody told me it was probably a bad ground, I never got it figured out myself.

It did this while I was driving. One second I'm taking off at a red light, the next I'm blocking an intersection. At first I thought it was the collision shut off switch, but no such luck.
