Holy turd dropping , that DUI is the hot forged one right?
Its $335 yikes.
O'Reilly's didn't have the pos one I got in 2015 so he credited me the $75 I paid then and discounted the $115 W.A.I. new one.
I still had $24 out of pocket but as long as it works.

Dropped the new distributor in last nite and this morning it ran like .worst ever.
I believe it's the tfi module on the new distributor
Called the vendor in FL. And that's the only dist
For my car they have.
Module is for automatic, I believe,but they are not going help. I 'll get the motor craft module for a manual trans. I believe that will fix it.

Update.. She started up after work today but stalled twice and ran like all the way home.
While waiting on the wife to come home and take me to get the motor craft tfi module, I took off the one on the new dist. And since I was going to return the O'Reilly's tfi ,as it didn't say it was for a manual trans., I figured I'd just try it, the car ran beautifully.
So I wiped off the one I took off dist.and ill return that turd to O'Reilly's and buy the motor craft one. Keep this one for a spare.

Creomod, I couldn't return that automatic tri module to oreilleys,as some poor masters like me might need one and get stuck with the one I returned.
I don't need any bad carma. The master pro module didn't say its for auto or manual trans but it works fine for now.
I think ill go to the junkyard and get an original one( I looked up the part #'s ). And then see, but today I'm still in your boat,she started fine ran fine but stalled down the block from the house. She started right back up and I drove back home. Fugggg.
I really don't have the physical energy to test anything today, I hope and pray you figure it out and share what worked.

I appreciate that brother. Sorry that you’re going through this too. But better now then in winter right ??? Not just physical energy but mental energy. But we gotta figure this out.

Yes we do. Tomorrow is an ultra sound @930, physical therapy @11am. They hopefully I make it to the junk yard for an original module.
I feel like its gonna be some random loose connection somewhere, only cause its intermittent.
