I had a couple people here at work mention that. One guy said he had an 89 that was acting sort of the same way and a new TFI fixed it. The other guy said his old Ranger had one go bad. He said he needed a special tool to get it off. Is that true of (stock) Mustang distributors?

What does TFI stand for and what does it do? How much are they?

Anybody else have problems with these? I also heard that a bad coil will waste the TFI. True/False?

Thanks
