I just finished my mass-air conversion. I started the car and it started with no hesitation and the idle was very smooth, perfect. When the car was idling i removed the spout connector on the distributor to adjust the timing and the car shut off instantly. I then put the connector in but the car don't want start. What is very weir is when i turn the distributor ( like if i wanted to adjust the timing) and the key on the ON position the fuel pump is priming. I keep turning the distributor from a side to another and the fuel pump is priming and turning on,off constantly.I checked all the wires in the EEC connector and everything is fine. Also when i turn the key to ON the fuel pump is priming normaly. It's like if i was grounding the fuel pump when i'm turning the distributor. I have 35 psi of fuel pressure when the engine is cranking and i also have spark. Please help!

 

how long was the car idling, before you pulled the spout connector?

 

Maybe 2-3 minutes. I have 42# injectors if it can help. Thanks!

 

TFI Module.. Bye bye..

 

Any ways to test the TFI module? I was told on the corral.net that it was normal to hear the fuel pump when turning the distributor with the key on?!?! anyone can confirm this? If someone could do the test, i would appreciate. Thanks!

 

Yes, pull it off and take it to autozone, discount, etc, they all can bench test it.

Chilton's and Haynes manuals for 88-93 Mustangs will also outline a test procedure with a voltmeter.

 

I also heard you can bypass it through the ignition and do a clutch dump to start your car. Anyone have anymore info on this?

 

WTF, are you typing here??:tard:

 

Start the car on the compression with a 5 speed will start the car if your starter is dead but if it's the ignition, the car wont start.

 

Yan88gt,

I know..

This is an inside joke between Eric and myself, however his sense of humor is a little twisted.

 

I found my problem. It was a bad fuse link. I don't know wich one it was exactly, i think it's the one for the fuel pump since i can hear the fuel pump priming every time i reconnect it. I don't know why it stop when i removed the spout connector, but now the car run like a champ. Anyone know what happened? I had 35 psi of fuel pressure when i was cranking the engine??!!?
