TFI heat soak - how to tell if thats my issue?

[90GT]

So, I may have the the TFI heat soak issue, not entirely sure yet. But after my mustang (1990GT) heats up.. it'll just shut itself off mid driving, once when i was hitting the on ramp to the 401..! After the car cools down for a bit, it'll start right up again. This last time though, I noticed a burned plug wire (cyl.#1) and now its making funny noises from the passenger side valve cover. So the car hasnt moved from the garage since july.

Now Im thinking its the TFI heat soak issue and think Im gonna buy a kit to relocate it somewhere...anyone try this or have had the same issues? I found the FatFoxx kit...pretty pricey, but if it works, may be worth it.

I can’t say I’ve ever had this issue....my 88GT has the stock distributor still and the TFI let me down once a very long time ago. I replaced it with a motorcraft replacement and no issues since.

If engine stalls the restarts, TFI is pooched, relocating will not bring it back to life but yes may make replacement last longer.

I had this issue on my old notch, car started randomly stalling, I used the fatfoxx kit and relocated the tfi to the passenger side inner fender, had no issues after that.

Sorry don't know of any other kits available

Hi there,

Is that a genuine motorcraft part? If so, how do I order one?

Thanks,

Benny

Do these have Motorcraft written cross the module like the original?

Will let you know on Thursday when one ordered arrives. Several people are saying they've got the newer number and they are not marked as Motorcraft on the module.
