No matter what I do, something else wears out or I'm not troubleshooting the right areas. I have a '76 with a 2150 Motorcraft 2-bbl Carb, 302. It al started with a rough idle, I had to replace the carb spacer plate because the inside was corroded and getting blow by. Then I began to realize that everything w/ a diaphragm was worn out and rotted, so I replaced teh Distributor advanced Valve, Kick-down valve on back of Carb, the Fuel pump also died and I replaced that. I have new plugs, wires, Distributor cap and rotor. I have Good vacuum, pressure and have No vacuum leaks. At this point, when I start it, it will idle at about 1300 rpm but will eventually just stall, whether its 30 sec. or 2 minutes later. If I try to set the idle to spec. 700rpm, it stalls. if I try to shift down from park from 1300 rpm, it stalls, of course. I have a Auto trans and I am about 8 degrees BTDC and have had it at all different positions, sometimes the idle goes rough, then recovers, then stalls. I realized that the P. S. pump was dead today, so I have to replace that also. Could it possible be the Ignition Module on the Driver side fender under the hood ? Does anyone have any ideas? Its almost May and the Damn thing wont run. ?:?
