Question type: Maintenance & Repair
car runs great until it gets to a certin temp. then it dies. and wont start back up until it cools down. I notice it has no spark after dying. I did a complete tune up and the tfi module on the side of the distriburter. also replaced the coil too. it also seems to be weather related(temp wise)

spout connector? and the tfi module plugs in and bolts on the side of the distributor with not rome to move it. does this year have the eec module?
ok thank you for you knowledge and i will get back with you on the results soon
moved the tfi module and made sure it is grounded very well. car starts and runs great. but when it gets to operating temp bout 10 min after it dies still
pick up coils were new and yes its the "highest quality" after market one because ford one is oboslete.
not yet will try that tonight. could a fusable link possibly be a culperate?
HI friend. I the car dies at normal temperature and you let it cool for ten minutes it is the pick-up coil insude the distributor. This hppened to me, I have a 1988 tempo and before hitting the right component I changed the ECM, TFI mod, ignition coil and nothing until one day tyhat the car died and I oppened the distributor and sprayed the pick-up coil with freezer liquied and started back on.
