Hi
Just bought Mustang 1984 GT 302 throttle body inj. auto trans. conv.it had starting problems so I tested all components, had no spark, coil was bad so I changed coil..dist...TFI module and went to start it .would not start no spark with spout connected. disconnected spout car started.Now I have tested everything I can think of .So I bought a ford wiring diagram and noticed the Wire for spout connector is yellow with green dots ,So I am going to trace the yellow wire to computer which is pin # 36 if there is no shorting.can I assume it is in the commputer?I have never owned a computer car and I'm 58 years old .I have 60s and 70s Fords.Please help an old guy before I put too much money in this thing.I don't believe this model has crank sensor.Thanks much

seems to me that it would be a bad wire on the spout. Almost like the wire that goes back to the computer is broke and grounding out/losing signal. I would suggest using an olms meter and checking for continuity on that wire. If that is good, maybe a bad computer?? I know all that wire does is allow the computer to advance the timing, without it, you will have no computer spark advance.

I thought 84 was still carbureted,
86 was the first year of sequential electronic fuel injection.
you may have a car that someone pieced together.

But still that spout shouldnt be doing that it advances the timing, not pull it out...........Did you check the plugs & wires with the module in outside the cylinders heads IE get someone to hold against metal and see if the plugs are sparking?
