My problem turned out to be a bad computer. I was getting no timing advance at all, plus the code 18. Well, I haven't really tested it yet to see if it still dies or not, but I'm definitely getting timing advance now. I got a reman A9L from Autzone for like $90.

First off, thanks for all the help so far. I feel like I'm making progress. I replaced the IAC, code 12 is gone and it runs way better. I reset the timing to 10-12 degrees (it's hard to read the timing marks), still getting a code 18. I even swapped out a known good TFI module. I'm going to...

I replaced the negative battery cable, added an extra 4 gauge to the block and replaced the ground strap. Checked all grounds in the EFI harness. Pulled the computer out to check the connector and the pins. Also ran the above tests again for the igniton. No change, it almost seems like it runs...

Stock ignition. For the first 2 years I had the tach, I screwed up and ran the 12+ power feed off the hazard switch. I was turning the tach on and off with the blinker and didn't realize it, so I might have messed up the tach. Pretty sure it likes a constant 12 volts...

SPOUT is in, checked for continuity this morning and slobbered it with dielectric grease. Not so concerned with the code 12, at least not until I get it to stop stalling. It hasn't stalled since I reset the computer this morning, so the 96 is unconfirmed at this point. I'm going to replace the...

Update: Car fired right up this morning. Let it warm up, no problems. Checked TFI wiring to pins 4, 36 & 56. All good. Ran the codes a couple of times, 11 on KOEO, codes 12, 44, 94 & 18 on KOER. Smog pump is gone, so 44 & 94 are OK. Pretty sure 12 is a bad IAC (already cleaned it), and 18 on a...

I have a 92 GT that I had to have towed today. Died after running for 20 min or so, killed the battery trying to refire it. I've replaced all components of the ignition system and tested all wiring to clear a code 18. I even replaced the 22k ohm resistor. The stalling issue went away for a...

I live in south fort myers gladiolous and summerlin. Just got my car back from Galloway today. I'm in a red 88 GT with a huge red Ford sitcker on the back. You'll hear me coming if you see me. :-P

dry gasket on the upper intake, line of rtv on the bottom side of the valve cover gasket, 22 lbs is about right for the upper and you should be good to go.
