Resolved Medussa's hair is in Mustang.

Well I've been rolling along for 17 years with the grace from the Lord above.
I got my stang with two alarms under the hood, I guess whomever installed the second one didn't think of removing the first one, and I just left all that spaghetti there since I bought her.
So lately I got intermittent gremlins, stall,no start. I'm getting this cleaned up so I can eliminate that .
Hope a ( new to me) coil connector helps stop my issue. Removing the non op alarm,
And there is a kill switch I never use so that's outta there too.

So you got snakes under the hood?

 

[nickyb]

Yes spaghetti snakes on a pony.
Really hope this solves my intermittent problem.

 

[nickyb]

Got a coil plug from the junkyard yesterday, cars were so freaking hot I couldn't pull any modules .

 

[nickyb]

New to me coil plug is in. Car starts and idles good, drives with no stalling ,Thank God.
The alarm blinks the lights but the chirp doesn't chirp no more. Its got power and ground so ill live with it as long as it stays running .

Started fine this morning, about a half mile from the house she cut off.
Tried to restart while rolling and no good. Came to a stop shut lights turned ign. Off and restarted fine.got to work okay.

I put a Stanard brand ignition switch in mine over 10 years ago and still good to go.

Probably should pick that up ,but for less money I got a motorcraft one coming from rock auto in two days

 

[nickyb]

Think I'm gonna cut the ziptied off and see what happens ony way home

 

[LILCBRA]

Out of curiosity, how old is your TFI and have you ordered a replacement/spare? This sounds like the gremlin I chased in my 87 for a short time. I don't remember all of the stuff I dealt with now, but I remember finding a wire that I thought was loose, dealt with that, (among other things....) the car started again then died not too long afterward again. I finally replaced the TFI and it stopped giving me issues. Just a thought since I didn't see anyone mention it yet.

 

[nickyb]

Yes tfi is new,one week old maybe two, I'm getting a spare also.

 

[nickyb]

Cut the zip ties off and it only stalled twice, once in the parking garage and then just outside the garage.
The rest of the way home was good. New Motor craft switch should be here by Friday.

 

[Noobz347]

All of these TFI issues lately

I'm still running the same TFI that I got with the car. It and the distributor were swapped right over from stock block.
