Check out the pictures I posted. They show the plug and it's approximate location. Sometimes the plug will get pushed down behind the wiring that runs in that area. On some cars, it may still be shoved up into the dust cover that is attached to the fender well in that area.
Please start you own thread and don't snag an old thread from someone else. That way it will get the attention that it deserves and not be overlooked..
so they actually have an obd1 scanner for our cars?jrichker stated it a few times for you to pull codes and gave you pictures to where it is located in post #7, now as mentioned before pull for any codes. The car is not OBDII that is located undder the dash, but that of the prior OBDI which is located in the engine bay. There is a plug on the driverside near the hood hinge between the wheel well and firewall that you need to plug into with a OBDI plug scanner or a jumper wire. The scanner is cheap from AutoZone for like 15 bucks, it has a small light on it that will blink at you in series. The book that comes with the scanner will explain what series of readouts are for each code. It will usually blink one session and then another session to make up a actual code. Easy enough for anyone to use. But trying to diagnose something with limited info online is like throwing darts at you, and all it does is empty your wallet. So my suggestion like many other before me are telling you is to read the codes.
Here is a code scanner for your car at AutoZone:

And here is a picture of one looks like:
lol but seriously when i saw that scan tool and if they make one, I'd rather get and use it vs counting the codes lol.....
Was that for the OP or me? And what issues are you having right now I'm not able to go back and read the original posters issue necessarily so I'll ask you just for a reference. I may not be able to reply back too quickly but if it's for me I'll give you whatever help I can
1991, doesn't idle well. Once the engine warms up it won't restart. It emits black smoke so I think it's rich. The fuel pressure regulator has been replaced, and the IAC, TPS, distributor and injectors have all been replaced.

I no the foxes have the control module on the distributor so I'm not sure if the distributor floor the fox has the pickup coil inside like a 9495 do. The pickup inside also the stator when they go bad it'll cause an issue to wear you can be driving down the road after the car is warm and it'll shut off and it will not restart until it is cool to back off.
however, thank you for your advice. I really appreciate your checklists, they helped me a lot.
