The stator inside the distributor bit the dust about six months ago on my stock 1983 Ranger still with the TFI. I went ahead and replaced with a remanufactured distributor. The TFI is motorcraft and is remote mounted on the fender.
The problem is...once the engine is hot and has been running for awhile. Shut the engine off and it continues to run for about a second or two (diesling). Also, once it is hot...it sometimes is slow to start.
It seems this all started when I installed the distributor. I timed it with spout disconnected and 10 degrees BTDC.
No computer codes at all and the truck runs good without any pinging.
Any suggestions....
