![]() When my 95 gt heats up the rpms bounce when it idles until it starts rising to about 1300 rpms and falling to 500 then it dies. The other day i drove it for a while and it got so hot it just cut off, the gauges didnt say it was overheating so i tried to crank it, i hit the gas and it just sputtered a little, the rpms wouldnt go up then it made a back firing noise under the hood, not out the exhaust, like a popping, and i had to come back and get it a couple hours later after it cooled down. Do you think it messed anything up, and whats wrong with it? someon suggested some module by the distributor cap, but i dont even know the name of it please help. i need to fix it. -- brokensilence788 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.carstalk.net/viewtopic-406965.html Send from http://www.carstalk.net |

You arent very clear on that. If NOT, then get a TFI.. module on side of Distributor ( I thought the 95 had the 4.6????) Make sure you lube it fresh. If Engine speed changes, in line with the tach reading: Did you have cold starting/idle problems any time in the recent past? If so, almost surely the IAC... If you dont know what these things are.. and dont want your car to spend mucho time in the shop, GET A BOOK! -- Yeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! |

When my TFI went out, the car gave no signs of failure, it just cut out and wouldn't restart. After an hour or so, it started up as normal. Does his description sound as if the engine isn't getting enough air? dwight |

In Mid nineties - they werent real long-life. The two-piece IAC's of mid eighties were more bullet-proof. If needle jumps around , engine speed doesnt, it's likely the TFI or pickup or bad wiring. If no tach bounce on crank, it's the TFI. -- Yeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! |
