ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION
07/10/1999212/01/2093
 Ford van stalled on interstate mountain pass going up a grade on a very hot day. due to construction, there was no shoulder or turnouts and a steep drop off the road. only by the unbelievable courage of two men who helped me, was i spared injury or death. i would like to find out how to fix my van so the tfi will not fail again. i currently can replace the tfi module, but being that it is still mounted on the distributor, the same thing will likely happen again. ford gives no info on how to permanently fix this problem. can you help me?*ak

STEERING - GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
04/04/2002109/01/2094
 We developed a leak in the steering system which appeared to be from the steering box. the mechanic who attempted to repair the leak changed the hoses and said it was fixed. two days later the steering was still leaking. i took it back to the mechanic who then said that the system was burping due to air in the line or that the leak was coming from the steering box seals, which he could replace. we researched this problem and found an article in car & driver apr '97 regarding steering failures in our vehicle so we are contacting you to see if the steering box has been determined to be faulty. i hear that it is rare for steering boxes to develop leaks. is this true? nlm
