Yo,
I think I got a problem that I can't seem to figure out on my own.
I got a 1990 EFI that starts but then dies a second or two later. When I start her up agian she starts up but with a struggling idle but after a minute or two she idles kind of ok. I've checked for loose wires and loose tubes and all appears to be normal.
Things I've done to her before this problem occured:
changed spark plugs with autolights, changed wires distributer&rotor, airfilter, fuelfilter, changed O2 sensor (driver side), Thermostat to a superstant 195degree and got the car timed 10 degrees before top dead center (mechanic did it for 10 bucks).
Now when I changed the thermostat and brought the old one to Kragen to get a exact replacement the guy told me that the old one was the wrong kind to have in the car. Keep in mind that I didn't know since I bought the car 4 weeks ago. The guy gave me the one that he recommended and I slaped it in. Now the car runs kind of slugish as if i was dragging a Piano or two on the free way but thats another issue for another thread.
Any advice would be very helpfull
Another thing
Any one think it's worth buying a code reader for the 1990 Crown Vic for $40. The guy at kragen was pushing me to buy one but I think he may be bull Shiten me
