88 Shelby Problems

[1993CobraGT40]

I sincerely appreciate everyone's input so far. I ran the codes and got
12, 13, and 47. Now I don't have the alternator belt hooked up so I understand the battery related codes. However 13 deals with the MAP sensor; from 600-1500 rpm ... no change in signal between pulses.

You might go to a salvage yard and get a used ECU pretty cheap, might work as a troubleshooting device.

I hit the local ones already and couldn't find one for a TII motor. I was gonna try to get a couple to have handy but

[mwrenn]

Have you seen these, might be premature to say this is the problem, but you can always use one later.LOL

I know this is off topic, but do you know a Capt. Kortney Birkhauser? She flies KC-135's out of Whiteman I think. She was deployed to Qatar last year, but should be back by now.

[1993CobraGT40]

Hmmm, no 135's at Whiteman that I know of; B2, T38, A10 and Apache helicopters. Small AF though as I spent a tour in Qatar among many other places Qatar was pretty nice for a deployment.

She musta been at McConnell in Wichita then. Keep us posted on how it goes with the car!!

I checked the vacuum lines to the MAP and all is good there. I may swap it out tomorrow and see what happens. Anxious to get it running correct as I always liked these cars. Gets frustrating sometimes

[1993CobraGT40]

Well I pulled the vacuum line off the baro-read solenoid and hooked the hose directly to the MAP sensor. The car ran great for a few minutes and then back to the original poor running status. Do the baro-read solenoids go bad??? I am going to replace all the vacuum hoses but I did not see any holes, splits cracks or whatnot, more precautionary. Any additional thoughts?

[Paradox]

just about any solenoid will go bad. I had 5 go bad trying to start my shadow, after it sat for awhile.

[1993CobraGT40]

Looks like I have to do some JY hopping. It looks like they don't sale them at NAPA or Autozone. Do I need a TII specific one or will any work? Thanks

[BAKES]

yes you will need the turbo 2 map sensor for a turbo 2

[1993CobraGT40]

what about the baro-read solenoid? Is that engine specific as well? Thanks

[BAKES]

i think the baro solenoid is the same for turbo 1&2 im going down to to garage and look at my 87 turbo sundance an make sure

[BAKES]

it looks to be the same its a good thing i looked have rat that was in the shop got under hood i hope the little bugger didnt get inside the car i took the windshield out for some rust repair last week.
