Man Sues Ford!!!

toughlilhunny · 02-02-2002, 04:04 PM

Man is suing FORD b/c of the carburators they put in mustangs from like 87-93 and on up were junk carbs and supposedly FORD knew about it and kept putting them in there. Theirs never been anything wrong with my carb. Any of you out there ever had a problem???

there is no carbs in Mustangs since 1985 and i believe ALL Ford vehicles post 1986 are all Fuel Injected. did you read this somewhere? cause it is false information. did you get the years confused? if you read it somewhere on the net, link it to us so we can read what this guy is actually doing.

toughlilhunny,

Either you were the victim of misinformation or the guy who's suing Ford takes a shower with his clothes on.

I have never heard of Ford knowingly putting out bad carbs. Maybe he meant different years?

The carburetors on mustangs from '87 to '93 were TOTAL junk because of the fact that they weren't carburetors at all. They're throttle bodies, which would explain why they don't work very well as carburetors (at least that's what i heard

)

Only lawsuit I'm aware of involving those years of Mustangs involves the distributor mounted TPI modules. Supposedly, Ford will extend the warranty on them to 100,000 and/or reimburse you if you had to replace it before 100,000 miles. Unfortunately, mine is outside of the settlement since I've far surpassed the milage stipulation.

OK well guys I was given wrong info. I didn't think 87-93 mustangs had carbs, but the individual insisted that they did and thought I should post.

Oh common NewAge! You mean you've never heard of the TPI module?!? You know, the Thick Plasmodium Induction module?? You're kidding, right? I mean, sheesh...I figured everybody knew what that was...

Yeah...it was late at night...what can I say except, "Does anyone smell anything in here....oh...oops, sorry. Please excuse my cerebral flatulence."

Oh, and the next time you call me funny, I'm coming over to Sanford and kicking your new age scrawny ***.
