Stalling

[oldfordy]

does anyone know about 10 pin jumper wires on 90 gt supposed to be recall car is stalling.

The recall was to install a jumper harness there. However the real cause is a poor connection of the 10 pin connectors. If there is a recall harness installed, remove it and throw it in the trash. Take the connectors apart, clean the contacts, spread the pins slightly with a small tack or pin, and reconnect tightly with some fresh dielectric grease.

Of course, there could be other reasons why a car is stalling.

Good advice, do it first.

Then if that does not fix it, here's your next step.

You guys with idle/stall problems could save a lot of time chasing your tails if you would go through the Surging Idle Checklist. Over 50 different people contributed information to it. The first two posts have all the fixes, and steps through the how to find and fix your idle problems without spending a lot of time and money. It includes how to dump the computer codes quickly and simply as one of the first steps. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions. You can post questions to that sticky and have your name and idle problem recognized. The guys with original problems and fixes get their posts added to the main fix.

It's free, I don't get anything for the use of it except knowing I helped a fellow Mustang enthusiast with his car. At last check, it had more than 200,000 hits, which indicates it does help fix idle problems quickly and inexpensively.

good advice as always from these guys. The only thing I'll add is the actual "fix" by Ford back in the 90's was they thought the salt and pepper connector wires were to tight, and installed a set of extender wires. The only thing that did was make additional connection points to fail.

• Take them apart
• clean them
• Make sure the pins are tight
• coat them with dielectric grease
• put em together

Run the codes
