Thanks E. I really appreciate the info. Any info on the o2 sensors. What to get and where to get them. Thanks again.

I replaced the TPS and set it to.98. Idle is much better. Still has a little bump at idle but no hesitation and sits at 600 perfect. I am going to replace the o2 sensors next. Just wondering the best place to get them from at the best price. Does it matter if they come with the factory type plug...

This is what I have. Just not sure of what settings to us. Dont know a lot about using a multimeter.

I have a multimeter just not sure if I am using it right. What setting do I want it to be on? The tps should be at .96-.98? Use the green wire with a paper clip or ? stuck down in the connection to get the reading?

I am going to do a complete brake fluid flush on thurs and then go from there. I am also going to try to track down the wheel sensors and give them a cleaning. I have never cleaned them and I have heard they could make the abs light go on. Any help on where they are would be great and what to...

I have done a complete tune up less than 3k ago and replaced the o2 snensors 10 or 15k ago . I think I am going to replace the tps. It looks to be the original one and I have 103k on the car. I may need some help figuring out how to use my multimeter to set it though. Not really that good with...

Come on! I am not that new.:D I guess I was not clear. I did it the way you are talking about but maybe not long enough. I will try it again and see what happens. Of course I got in this morning and the light is off. I also listend for the pump running and it is not. I will keep trying. Thanks...

I have bled the brakes but may not have done it right or enough. Key on and pedal down for rears and pump for the fronts. I have been puting a hose on the valve and puting it in a jar with fluid in it so I can do it myself without any help. Is this a bad way to do it. It doesnt seem to be able...

The amber bulb is bad.Put a new one in and it glows bright as well. I had a issue with that bulb in the past were it would go and off at very random times and then it just stopped. I guess that is why. I checked all kinds of things when that was going on but never fugure anything out. That time...

Thanks Elesse for the ideas. I will give it all a check and let you know how it goes. The module sure had made a difference in how the car runs. Would be nice to figure out these other things as well.

It seems like the red light is only coming on after I have been driving around for a while(hour or so). If it sits for a night or longer it will go off and then come back on after driving. It is only the red light. I have a manual for a 89 Markvll will it be the same for my 87 or at least close...

When I start up in the morning if I sit for a couple of minutes idleing the idle will dip(4or5hundred) and then rise(7or 8hundred) . I can put it into gear and it seems fine. Then I can be driving later in the day and be at a stop and it will do it again but more agressive and almost die or...

My red brake light is coming on and off. It wont come on if the car has been sitting for a while(over night) but after driving for a while it will shine bright, but then might just go off. I have blead the brakes and it still keeps happening. The pedal is a little soft and and does not feel as...

GOT IT FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the ignition module. Cost me $50 bucks for tool and part. Took me about 20mins. Thanks again to everyone who hlped out. Now, what would cause the idle to go up and down. This has always happend but I have just lived with it. When it sits and idles for a couple of...

I have fuel pressure, but no spark. A local mecanic suggested the ignition module would be a great place to start. My Markvll has 100k on it and still has the original one in it. He said they usually last any where from 50 to 100k. I found one for $46 and the tool for $6. Think I might give it...

I am going to start trying to track down the problem today. I have the next two days off so here we go. I am going to take the advice and get a timing light and am also going to pick up a fuel pressure gauge. Any advice on what kind to get and what to stay away from. Will let you all know how it...

Thanks Thanks guys!OldSchool, as usual you are more than helpfull. I may need some help with finding some of these things to check but thanks for the info. I will check these things and let you know. One thing though, can I just pull a plug and check to see if there is spark like I used to do...

I was leaving work and went to pull out of the garage, came to a stop and the engine just clicked off. No sputtering or anything. Just shut off. I have not been able to get it to start since this happend. It has gas, batterie seems fine and is some what new. It turns over fine and sounds normal...

I cant tell if the pump is running or not but I am going to take another listen. Why is it that pushing the pedal to the floor and holding it there is starting the car if it shuts the injectors off. It seems to get harder and harder for it to start as the days go byalso. How hard is it to...

My car will only start if I push the pedal to the floor and even then it has troubles. I think it may be the fuel pump. How hard is it to change the fuel pump in my 87 mark. I have found the part and they are not cheap. Is there anything else I should replace while I am in there. Thanks for any...
