1994 Ford Tempo Electrical system Problems

“I have just become aware that the problem I am having with my vehicle stalling is due to a tfi module that Ford is aware there is a problem with. I have stalled many times in traffic and there have been many times I've almost been hit as a result of this. I drive with a toddler in the car and have been fortunate that we have avoided injury thus far. This is a known problem and someone needs to make Ford take responsibility for this problem before another life is lost.”

“Car will shut down, without any type of instrument/gauge warning, when going at 30+ miles per hour. Panel lights come on just as they would when you first turn the ignition key. The first time this happened I had to wait about 15 minutes before the car would restart. A mechanic who checked out the car said it was the ignition module system, and that I could have it replaced or wait for a general recall. On later incidents, the car will not start for at least 5 to 10 minutes.”

“This car stalls when over heated in stop and go traffic,the temp.gauge does not show that it is hot ,but the car just stalls and will not start for about 30-45 min.I have spent alot of money on parts and nothing is working.I have high blood pressure and being stranded in 106 degree weather is not good for me .I have almost been killed on the highways by being stalled in a lane and not being able to restart the car,once it stalls it will not budge until it cools down .please help I cannot afford to keep putting parts on this car and my healyh is being affected by this. Than you.”

“On driving over 55 miles per hour this car's acceleration begins throbbing and speeds out of control. I returned it to the dealer for repair. They chose to put a band-aid on rather than replacing the computer. Since that time most major components on the car have failed. Most recently, while driving or stopped at a light, the car simply dies as if no fuel is reaching the engine. The battery charges and the engine turns over but the car won't move. I've had nearly $2500 in repairs for everything from the battery, the water pump, the fuel injection system, to the crankshaft pulley replaced. …”

“A no-start on these dates4/5/99,4/12/99, 6/9/99, 7/6/99, 9/19/00, 10/13/00. Has donw it one more time. Dealer kelp putting in parts but didn't fix problem and it does start and stalls also and could cause a wreck and they don't know whats wrong.”
