Hi Gang,
Ive stalked these forums for quite some time... Normally I find the info I need in these helpful forums and Im on my way. This time however Im stumped. Ive had a fox 5.0 motor in my 66 convertible for many many years and its served me well. After showing its age and leaking oil, I decided to buy a new rebuilt short block and have a friend swap everything out for me. He did the initial engine swap for me so hes pretty familiar with mustangs and my car in general.
I recently had my motor rebuilt. The only thing that was replaced was a newer aluminum radiator and a MSD distributor and coil.
The problem crops up after a few minutes of driving... The car stumbles a little and then just dies and this is pretty much random. If I leave the key to run... and just try to crank it will never start back up... its just cranks away. If I switch to off and back to start and crank... It will fire up usually right away like that. If the car happens to die while Im going down the road... today I just figured out of I just go from off to on again the car begins to run again. This happens over and over.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Ive crawled the the various forums looking for info but most point to a fuel issue or a TFI module?
Ive begun to work thru this thread https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/mustang-cuts-out-and-dies-after-warm-up.827901/
to troubleshoot but wondered if anyone reading this would say... dude, its XYZ. ;-) One can hope at least.
Thanks everyone!
