only when my baby's hot
 

My GT would all of a sudden bog down and stall when after running for a while. This all happened when we started getting this hot weather (ontario) and I also got my muffler replaced with flow masters...any ideas guys?

Thx

Stalls when hot
 

Possible TFI Module failure.

Ford has a recall out on these units but your '87 may be too old (over 100,000 miles?) to qualify for a free replacement.

If so, they cost about $100. at a Ford dealer and replacement is fairly simple.

Next time it happens, try to restart it for 5 seconds, without touching the gas pedal, then pull a spark plug. If the plug is dry, it's probably a fuel pump problem. If it's wet, it's probably a TFI problem.

Take care,

Mr 5.0:
Did you pay $100 for a TFI module? Reason for asking, I paid $30.00 for one at Advance.

thx guys i was reading a similar post ..i'm gonna replace the fuel filter ..check the plugs for sparks when it happens again and the pick up coil..does that sound right to you guys??
thx so much

btw
my GT has a 93 engine in it with only 50k
i had it stored during the winter and just took it out for the spring..it was just in my building garage with alot of condensation..i start it once a week with no probs..

Fuel pump possibly, pkrwd thats a good idea, thast why i come here, for knowledge like that,

I had this problem before, and was stranded until my my car cooled, i suspected the tfi (was hot summer day), but ever since i got an electric fan, colder t-stat, new radiator, it hasnt happend, im still worried about this summer, i should proaly carry a cheap autozone/advance tfi in my trunk just in case.
