Re: 89 4-cyl; no power at low RPM

by dalemstevens <fathompin@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 10, 2008 at 07:37 AM

I am going to help my friend tomorrow, we have two different service
manuals and hope to check out sensors and find one that may be at
fault.  The spark advance is controlled by a TFI electronic control (I
replied initially to this posting that fact, but it never showed up),
and I've read that it can have problems with heat.  I plan to try
quick cool, etc to isolate.  What my friend has told me is that the
car does run fine for about 5 minutes when cold.  Fine, but why would
problems with TFI getting hot, be apparent only at low RPM, what would
be the symptoms be for a heat failing TFI - no spark advance at all-?
How would it work fine at higher RPM and not low RPM if TFI is
failing?  It would seem to me that something is giving the computer
control module band info at for low RPM and I will be checking the TPS
for one.  Any other suggestions, opinions is appreciated.

Thanks
