Wring - Engine Stopped suddenly
I have a CR Sebring: Ford 5.0 HO 9189 fuel injected and stock, 5-speed, 8.8 4-link rear. the engine just dies suddenly while diving in 4th gear at about 50 mph. This car has the GM steering column and ignition switches, fuse panel by driver's left knee. Here's what I know:
I replaced the TFI ignition module . wasted $60, should have done proper troubleshooting.
Engine cranks over nicely.
There is no voltage (actually 0.6 VDC) to ignition coil or EEC relay.
all other electrical components work perfect: fuel pump, lights, horn, flashers, etc. Amp light comes on and amp meter on dash reads strong voltage but less than 12 (~11.5). DVM measures 12.5 VDC at battery.
The "gost" voltage (0.6 VDC) at coil and EEC relay are the same so i think there is continuity between them.
So, seems to me that somewhere between the ignition switch and the coil there is a break in the circuit.
The build manual I have does not seem to match my car so I don't know how the output from the ignition switch goes to the coil. The engine wiring harness seems correct for the engine with all wires colored as in the ford harness.
Any ideas?
Does anyone have a build manual with wiring diagram/instructions for a CR Cobra or Sebring from that era - 1989?
Thanks.
Keith
