To replace the TFI (Thick Film Ignition) module on a 1987 Ford Ranger, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Remove the distributor cap to access the TFI module, which is typically mounted on the side of the distributor. Disconnect the electrical connectors and unbolt the module, then replace it with the new TFI module, reattach the connectors, and reassemble the distributor cap. Finally, reconnect the negative battery terminal and start the vehicle to ensure proper operation.

93 Ford Tempo stalls when its hot outside?

I have a 1992 Tempo that was stalling all the time after it warmed up. I found out there was a class-action lawsuit against Ford for defective design/location of the TFI modules because they malfunction when they get hot. By court order, Ford extended the warranty on these TFI modules to 100,000 miles, regardless of age or resale. My local Ford Dealer ordered a replacement from the Obsolete Parts department at Ford and installed it all at no charge.

Where is the ignition module located on a 1986 ford bronco?

On the back of the distributor which is located on the top of the engine rear center, the ignition module (or TFI module as ford calls it) has two screws bolting it to the distributor and one electrical connection, when you replace this you MUST use di-electric grease when installing the new one or it will fail due to excessive heat created by the engine.


Can you simply replace the TFI on the 1990 F150 and solve the stalling problem?

YES! If you have tried a major tune up to include: spark plugs, distributor cap , rotor, wires, and fuel pump and the truck still idles rough and stalls at stop signs then it is the TFI ignition modual located on the side of the distributor.
