![]() Have you checked for spark? It sounds as if you have. What about fuel? Could be a lot of different things here. Do you hear your fuel pump running when the key is in the on position? If you do, does it sound weak? If you have a gauge, what is the fuel pressure? Check fuel and spark and post the results.

![]() spark is a little weak-spuratic--yet everything is new!
Pump seams good-as It sounds as always and doesn't give out at higher rpm's. wondering if it could be the starter going bad and drawing too many amps-(gm's have this problem) As if i give it a couple quick key jerks-she starts... still running stock pressure regulator........agh.

![]() It only takes 4 things to make an engine run.
Fuel Spark Compression Timing You are obviously lacking one. Sounds like you have Spark/Timing, so like Ieatcamaros said, start looking at the fuel system. My bad! You were posting that last one the same time as I was. Call me cooky, but trust me on this one. Ignition module.

![]() I smell the fuel,its coming--And once she is started runs like new!
No loss in power or top end,no sluggish take off --nothing! My idle did start to surge before this happening--what about tps or iac---ever heard of it making it super hard to start?

![]() So, does the idle still surge now? Where are you smelling fuel from? You shouldn't be smelling it inside the car.

![]() Still surges--bit the bullet and dropped it off at mickeys--this little place that actually doesn't try to stick you... The gas i smell is from me cycling the key about 50 times to try and get it to start--i'll keep ya posted with what it actually was--i am too poor to try and find out on my own--

![]() The TFi is not the ECM, the TFI is on the passanger Fender 94-95 5.0L and on the distributor 86-93 5.0L... its a $40 dollar item. If thats bad or faulty your car won't start, weak spark, will cut out etc etc and could work fine when warm or when cold.. Its a POS part that ford made that causes all sorts of headaches and ford recalled all of the stock units for replacement. so if you haven't changed it, change it asap.

![]() When i bought it they said icm/tfi same so i bought it --but we are speaking of the same piece---the shop said fuel pump---whether it was or not i will never know i threw him the money and left it at that-------
But i do know that my spark was weak and not consistenet*sp even after everything was changed out--i think i had a short somewhere--hmm---Never would have thought it would have been the pump either as after it was started--no loss in power,no hesitation --nothing Atleast i got my daily back now---I do not like driving the 53' in this crappy weather we have had lately...thanks for all the help again! joe

![]() yea sounds like the TFI or Pick up coil ( stator ) either way the TFi are Junk.. Replace it. I would use a factory ford one, not a wells or autozone brand.
