#729713August 31, 2000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CONTINUING STALLING OF THE ENGINE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAD ONLY 27000 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I THOUGHT IT NEEDED A TUNE UP. HOWEVER, A COMPLETE TUNE UP WHICH I HAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES DID NOT FIX THE OCCASIONAL STALLING. I WAS TOLD AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS CHECK THAT IT WAS THE EGR VALVE AND I HAD THAT REPLACED. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW, WITH THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE WITH IT STALLING WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN FOR CURVES, HIGHWAY EXITS, ETC. WHEN I HAVE ASKED A LOCAL FORD DEALER PARTS PERSON ABOUT THE STALLING PROBLEM THEY HAVE STILL POINTED TO THE EGR VALVE. BUT AFTER HEARING YESTERDAY'S NEWS REPORT ABOUT THE TFI MODULE AND COMPARING MY STALLING PROBLEMS TO WHAT I HAVE LEARNED, I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS THE TFI MODULE. THIS STALLING COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TO REPLACE THE MODULE THE DEALER COST WOULD BE $99.87 FOR THE PART, PLUS LABOR. I REALIZE THAT AFTER 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE I NOW HAVE 82,000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT SAFE. IF FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR THIS LONG OF A TIME IT SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM OR REPAY ME FOR HAVING IT FIXED.
