Engine Tech / 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe Idle issue help
Ok so I have been messing around with the car here and there I reset the idle and Tps as mentioned above and the car started running better, but the problem I was having is the idle would drop off every so often almost to a stall, well one lucky day and it did stall I found out I wasn't get spark so I pulled the distributor and found the gear was stripped and the auxiliary gear in the motor was cracked. So no I'm looking for a auxiliary shaft.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

It this part number.

auxiliary shafts ( fuel pump cam )   E4ZE-6K230-AA

^This should fix your high idling but because of the other codes I would make sure all your vacuum lines are hooked up and good

^Here's a vacuum line diagram for these cars

The knock sensor might just be unplugged since a lot of people do that to eliminate the ecm from pulling any timing from false signals
 it's on the lower intake facing the fire wall


Do you know if it matters if I use a TPS from a n/a 4cyl car or even a V8. I have a few extra when I did some 5.0 swap in my fox stangs.

Ok I was able to read the codes again and I got the following:

During the KOEO test I got the following codes in the following order 23, 83, 23, 83, 10, 72

23
-Throttle Position Sensor Out Of Self Test Range
C/O/R

83
-Integrated Relay Control Module (2.3L Turbo & 2.5L)
O
-EVP/EGRC/EGRV (2.3L OHC & 3.8L CFI)
O
[COLOR="#B22222"]I am guessing the EGR again but I don't know about the first part of the code with the relay[/COLOR]

72
-Insufficient Manifold Absolute Pressure/Mass Air Flow Change During Dynamic Response Test
R
-Power Interrupt Software Re-Initalization Detected (1.9L & 2.3L Turbo)
C
[COLOR="#B22222"]I am assuming this means a vacuum leak. Any info on this code wold help.[/COLOR]

Then during the KOER test I got the following codes in the following order 23, 25, 23. 25

23
-Throttle Position Sensor Out Of Self Test Range
C/O/R
[COLOR="#B22222"]Looks like I will try to adjust the TPS sensor to fix this. Or any other suggestions you guys have for this code.[/COLOR]

25
-Knock Not Sensed During Dynamic Response Test
R
[COLOR="#B22222"]I don't know why I got this code? Hopefully this is just a simple replacing the knock sensor.[/COLOR]

If anyone has had any issues with these code let me know what you did to fix them or any ideas to fix them.

Thanks.

Yup ICM is the ignition control module, generic term but indeed the TFI
I have to agree with the Tps and setting the base idle, checking the timing wouldn't hurt either 10 deg is what your looking for


I am going to recheck a few things this weekend and recheck with my code reader and let you guys know if I find any new codes.

Thanks so far for the help.

I have a few foxbody mustangs and this is my first turbo coupe so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having issues with my 1987 Turbo Coupe, I can not get the car to idle properly.

things I have done to try to fix.
REPLACED AND ADJUSTED TPS
REPLACED IAC WITH ONE FROM A N/A 4CYL THAT RAN PERFECT
REPLACED ICM
REPLACED CAP AND ROTOR

I am not sure where else to start I was reading that I can not use a IAC from a n/a car but the car was doing this same issue before I did all this work. I checked for vacuum leaks but have found nothing out of the ordinary.

I have a video of the car and what it does.

Note I am not touching the gas at all on the car it is doing this all on its own. Sometimes the car will even get stuck around 2-2500 rpm but if you shut if out and restart it will stop and run fine for a few minutes.
