Misc Tech / Test Procedures Area (87 TC/5.0)?
Been off the site for a while, but I would swear there used to be a section for (relatively) simple but common troubleshooting procedures?  The one I'm thinking of was the one to rule out fuel pump relay vs. fuel pump issues or EEC issues.  Did some searches but came up empty.  Already replaced the relay (cuz it was easy/cheap) but the tank/pump, not so much.  I'd love to narrow it down to the pump before I go any further.  All I remember is jumpering a wire on the passenger side kick panel to listen for the pump but I'm getting old and the memory is fading.  Thx

Mods, is this a workable idea or too much hassle?

$15 sounds great and I'll spring for shipping.  Shouldn't be more than $10 for that.  Wanna do it through Paypal? Pretty sure you just unscrew it, just make sure the system is depressurized. Might be a little geyser if not. Although that might be an indicator that it's still good. I'm at Jdouglas87@hotmail.com.        Thanks

What's the going rate for one if you're not really sure it's still good? I'm willing to take a chance on an inexpensive used one. It's not a daily driver but I really don't want to over work that $$$ pump until I get a replacement acspoogeulator.  I've thought of converting but REALLY like the ABS aspect of the system. I spent a lot of blood/sweat/tears & $ getting those big Baer Claws to play nice with the stock system.  Obsolesence blows, but it is incouraging to find out so many other cars used the system.

Wow, you guys are good!  I've been googling this thing for three days and found squat.  Spinning wheels was out of stock so I signed up for the next production run.  Not sure of the price, could be anywhere from $135-300.  Sure hope the pump/motor hangs in there. Didn't realize you were supposed to get 4-5 pumps on the brake before pressure drops and pump engages.  I was getting 1 but just attributed it to after market calipers.  I am still interested in that used one if you can find it (Thunderbirdsport302).  Thanks again for the links!

Well after 29 years it would appear it has given up the ghost. Did a search and looks like it is obsolete. Looking for a good part number and any sources if there are any. I'd consider used if you're fairly sure it's still good.  Any advice on R&R would be appreciated. Thx in advance.
