ok gang here goes
im in oregon we get cold overnights
4 weeks ago i was warming my 89 2.9l and it just died
restarted it and she ran for 20 seconds and died .
the fuel pump had been sounding like it was on it s way out and i had the replacement on the bench so i just figured it was gone
replaced it then . no start no spark
checked all connections power to coil voltage was good so must be ignition module
now stay with me here i could not get the screws out while it was in the truck
so i had to remove the distributer but i set her on dtc #1 and marked the dis. , cap and rotor and the back of the intake for when i restabbed it
both screw heads were stripped by prev owner and i notice the 6 wires going to the module connector had been crimped to a new connector
i finally removed the screws ordered new ones online
the module had zero thermal paste left if there ever was any and the module housing was cracked
replaced module got new cap and rotor since i was that deep already
cut out crimped sections 1 by 1 soldered and heat shrink tubes all 6 wires
reassembled eveything pulled the spout connector and set the timing to 10btdc as my book states and rpm warm to 750
rehooked spout connector and was done for the night..
drove to work next day about 7 miles and intermittently it stalls no rmp signal on the dash. lights heater radio all working
pulled over she started right up and did it again i just bumped the key and rpm is back made it to work and back home was worse checked for vac leaks unplugged ever sensor i can get to 1 at a time looking for changes
the tps once removed stalled engine .
now i let her idle and randomly she stumbles hard and sometimes stalls
im afraid to drive it
any ideas ????
