| Good morning! i am writing to add my voice to what is apparently a growing chorus of persons who have experienced ignition failures on ford motor company products. i have been unable to contact fmc directly through their web site, as their owner registration form is, itself, suffering a failure, and they do not have a facility for directly e-mailing them without 'registering' with them, first. my 1986 ford bronco, full-size, 5.0l, fuel-injected, is subject to sudden, unexplained loss of fire (i.e. the ignition quits for no apparent reason), and yet wil re-fire if the vehicle is allowed to sit for about an hour or so. this condition is not related to a true overheat, i.e. not involving failure of the cooling system. i have had to replace the tfi distributor module an average of once a year in the six years i have owned the vehicle, and have found myself in dangerous circumstances many times as a result of the ignition failure. | |||

| I have experienced four failures of the tfi ignition module over the period of time i have owned the vehicle, the first failure occurred within two months of having purchased the vehicle. each subsequent failure occurred at approximately two to three year intervals. the most recent failure prompted me to replace not only the tfi module but also an ignition coil and general tune-up parts. these failures have occurred while the vehicle was moving at highway speeds and also while simply at idle in traffic. | |||
