I took it to my mechanic last night after it stalled on me while doing 60 on the Southern State Parkway (main Highway in NY)

he took it out today, said it ran fine then finally it started acting up, and he said that when he jiggles the wires on the connector going to the TFI module... that the car will do it and stall out...

so tomorrow he is gonna look for a replacement and soder it into the system and see if it fixes it...

while there today i noticed that my BBK 02 Extension Wires are hanging low and 1 of them is like completely Shredded... think that could be the issue?

Well my Mechanic replaced the TFI Module, so far so good...

but as i left i noticed when i start the car there is a loud knocking noise... it ain't the motor... almost like the starter is getting slapped by the teeth on the flywheel.

make sure the flywheel bolts and starter bolts are tight, and all tranny flange mounting bolt.



Did you leave the hood open while changing this motor and it got wet?
