Ok man you come to the right place for CFI help! Check the connector that plugs into teh TPS and make sure the wires are not lose also even if you have to splice a new connector in do so b/c these connectors seem to just crumble and fall apart. Also check teh connectors at the the two injectors if the tabs are broken replace the connector because the bouce up and down and cause teh car to sput. Also check the main black connector for both injectors in sits right below the CFI housing if its not tight it will bouce around also. Once you check all that and if you are still having problems just hit me up on here or aim and i can walk you thru all teh steps i did to stop my stalling problem with my CFI and everything i checked.

the CFI on my '84 is just driving me nuts with it having an intermittent engine miss.... you drive it for a while, and it will start missing when your sitting at a red light.... Then at the next light, it will run fine.... we have changed the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button, found one loose wire where the idiot that had it before me tried to splice the wire on the TPS... with TAPE... and twisted together... if you shook the wire the car would quit! My mechanic was taking the air cleaner off.. and the car quit... he looked over a me and said, "I've never had THAT happen!" So we thought we had it fixed.. as it ran fine after that... until I stopped at the first red light on the way home.... started missing like there was ONE sparkplug wire or plug messing up... but you put it in the scope... everyone is firing fine... So any ides on THAT??? Tom!!!

Of course, use a Holley "Low Rider" carb

I saw those they look pretty bad ass.. I will have to wait till the car is 25 years old. that way i have no problems with all those retarded inspection laws.

As soon as I saw the low rider carb, I thought of you...

[Chachi]

Wow thats Amazing !!!
When i first saw it I thought of me too

[Grand Marquis GT]

Somethin about the way people with '84 2dr merks think..

And yes boxmang, that includes you

[Chachi]

Ok, i started it up and started tapin harnesses, and relays but i could not get it to stall. then i unpluged harnesses and pluged them back in still no stalling. but this time when the engine got up to temp it would not maintain a smooth idle, nor would it stay running if i let off the throttle. then i unpluged the harness going to the egr valve and the idle smoothed out but still no stalling... this is driving me nuts

[Grand Marquis GT]

Did you ever clean your EGR?

[Chachi]

ya like 4 years ago, but i havent driven it much sence. mabe 1000 miles

[Grand Marquis GT]

hmm....

try it again.

perhaps it just needs to be driven...

[Chachi]

i can do that.. but do you think that will fix the stallin followed by a no start

[gadget73]

Clogged EGR will def make it stall and run like shit. Pull the whole CFI unit and take the spacer plate off, then clean it real good. Just pulling the valve usually isn't enough to keep it running right.

[Chachi]

but thats just it . the car runs great most of the time. then at random it stalls and wont start untill i shake the car up withy the hydros
