92 Mustang Popping Hesitation

[Rocky Rodriquez]

What are you currently using? What issues are you having?

Btw NOTHING tunes itself. It just won't happen, they can "trim" themselves but still run like poo....

Just tired of messing with it the only thing I haven't replaced is wiring behind dash

If you had an issue before you did all that work to it then you will have an issue with the fitech system
I have followed your posts, you have to find and fix this popping thing

Hey did you rule out your distributor?
Just asking mine had exactly same symptoms as your car

 

[Rocky Rodriquez]

Ya completely changed the whole motor dizzy was already on the new one u ever use a Bama tune thinking of trying it

Dude there is no quick fix. You need to take the troubleshooting steps necessary to find the problem...

What kind of cap and rotor are on the distributor? A cheap cap will allow scatter spark. Use a Motorcraft or MSD cap.

If you are troubleshooting this on another thread maybe @karthief can merge them.

Pictures of the engine and parts I need detail in order to help you.


Bama tunes are junk. They are so bad I will give away the chip i bought years ago. Waste of money, want a Bama tune? Go bump the timing up 3*

Ok I was gonna buy a tune so I know it's not in the tune than go from there

That's the wrong train of thought if you have a tune in the ECU now remove the tune the stock ECU should run just fine with everything that you have installed. There are guys making over 600 horsepower with the stock ECU

ok sounds great I'll start checking the the timing I think it's set at 14 if so I'm gonna back it to 10 thank you

There is a ground by the computer. I don't think you could of burnt the trace on your computer, but do you have a buddy with a spare computer to try?

You can also inspect the trace in yours to cut that out as well

If you had problems with it before and the computer being a constant....maybe but inspect to rule out.

Also grab a pic of your mass air sensor and the part number. Have you unplugged the mass air sensor to see if it runs any different?

Unplugged mass air and it almost died

That's normal it means it's working.

Take the cap off the distributor, look at the terminals that the rotor sends spark too...
Are they made of brass or aluminum? Is there any carbon tracking on the underside of the cap?

Oh my..... is that a black tfi module? That's no good..... the fox EEC uses a "push to start" tfi....

The grey is the fox module

Black is used later on with obd2 ecu, they are ccd tfi... (computer controlled dwell)

Not sure if that would cause the popping issue or not...

Maybe someone will chime in
