yeah... its back...
 

okay... so it stopped... for like a day... i replaced the distributor.. completely... still working with the eec... but its not working... waiting on plug wires... which i just replaced... but am replacing again... just in case... but i still have the problem...

But i have a new Question... is it possible that maybe the speed sensor is clashing with the speedometer since i have 3.73 gears in the car and havent replaced the speedo gear YET? If not... what else could it be? The damn thing doesnt bring up any codes so im totally at a loss... also instead of it cutting out at different points in the powerband... now once it gets warm it just does it all the time... i am starting to suspect some sort of mechanical failure... but i dont know what it is... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
if you dont know what im talking about refer to my other thread...

Re: yeah... its back...
 

did you ever replace the tfi module or coil?

Re: yeah... its back...
 

The problem went away after messing with the distributor right? What exactly did you do to the distributor? Did you mess with anything else at the same time? It could be bad wires and by moving the wires(when messing with the distributor) you caused the problem to go away or change.

Have you watched at night/dark under the hood to see if you could see spark arcing from any of the wires?

Re: yeah... its back...
 

Definitely sounds like a TFI to me. They will only act up when they get hot. They act fine when cooled down...

Re: yeah... its back...
 

Sounds like TFI to me too. There is a class action suit against FORD for this very problem.

You may notice that Ford stoped mounting them to the distributor and mounted them to a heat sink and then the heat sink and TFI is mounted to the firewall. They obviously knew it was a problem.

yeah i have kind of come to that conclusion too as i was tracking what the problem might be, thanks for the help, yeah i have already replaced the wires 3 times(lifetime warranty) so... the TFI was my next thing to try, is there another Distributor... i know there is... because mine is mounted to a heat sink and to my freaking fender well... maybe if i remove it and put more dielectric lubricant under it it would fix it? or just replace it?

Re: yeah... its back...
 

What wires? If there lifetime warranty autozone wires, they are not very good even though they say "lifetime warranty".

I would replace the TFI rather than just regrease it.

Re: yeah... its back...
 

no i put taylor wires in it... from an parts shop... i dont know if you know who murillo motorsports is... but it is one of his his distributors... i live close to the guys at prewitt racing... they do his chassis' and they do the work on mine and my buddie's ws-6 i think its not the wires... i am gonna get a TFI probably.. .is there anywhere to go for a performance replacement? or is it just a stock replace? i guess i can get a distributor with it top mounted?

edit!!!
okay so i did some research... and where in the hell do i get a TFI module?

Re: yeah... its back...
 

Edit - just saw that you replaced TFI and that didn't do it.

As a refresher, can you give us a rehash of the problem, when it occurs, and what you have done so far to fix the problem?

Re: yeah... its back...
 

For example - fuel pressure during the occurance?
