never fails about to give up

After fixing no start went to muffler shop for the 3' exhast they told me some off the wall price so I picked the car up and on the way back stalled and no start once again.no spark out of coil replaced tfi and have codes 28 83 about to part this car out!!!

28 relates to the Vane air temp sensor. If it was colder than 50*F, this code is set automatically.

code 83; see http://www.tbirdheritage.com/articles/qu...tchart.php

Does the rotor turn when the engine is cranked? If not check the cam belt. If that is OK, check the dist. drive gear.

Thanks pete but not the timing belt-dist. turns

What else?

I sent you some info on testing the TFI/PIP.

Does the check engine light function? With the ignition key On, engine Off, does the light come on? It should.

If it does work correctly as described above, when you crank the engine, is the check engine light turning off? If not, the EEC isn't getting a signal from the PIP, so it doesn't know when to work the coil.
---------------------------
If it passes the CEL test JT talked about, and the coil has 12V on the positive side during crank and run, try this: Test light between coil neg terminal and ground. Light should light key on, engine off. Then crank it over. If TFI is firing the coil, the test light will flash on and off. If light doesnt flash, but CEL test is a pass, either TFI is bad, or you have a wiring problem.

Does the coil pos terminal have 12V with key in RUN and START? Use a test light for this, not a DMM. If no 12V at coil, suspect the ignition switch.

Test light between coil neg terminal and ground. Crank motor. If TFI is working, light will flash.

Thanks will try that tomorrow .

CEL light stays on while cranking that means pip?

It was the aux shaft and dist. gear again wtf what am i doing wrong?

Where do i get another aux shaft?

How do i get the metal shavings and chunks out of the motor?

The viscious cycle that is possible is gears strip. Debris in the pan passes through the pump and binds it which either breaks oil pump drive shaft or strips a new set of gears which yields debris in oil pan which binds the next pump which........

I think Racer Walsh sells aux shafts.

You will have to drop the pan to clean it out. Here is some relevant info:
