MY 1985 FORD THUNDERBIRD GOES DEAD EVERYTIME I STOP AT A RED-LIGHT, OR A STOP-SIGN, OR EVEN IF I AM JUST DRIVING SLOWLY OR ATTEMPTING TO STOP. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 85 BY MY AUNT WHO WAS THE ONLY OWNER UNTIL SHE GAVE IT TO ME. (IT'S NOT MY PRIMARY CAR, I JUST WANTED TO KEEP IT AND FIX IT UP.)IT ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY HAS WENT INTO THE CAR. OVER THE SUMMER, I HAD A NEW MOTOR PUT IN. MOST OF THE CAR HAS REPLACED AND NEW PARTS. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF NUMEROUS SHOPS B/C OF IT GOING DEAD. AND BELIEVE ME, IT WOULD GO DEAD AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY IT HAD; EVERYTIME I WOULD STOP AT STOP-SIGN, RED-LIGHT,EVERYTIME I GOT BEHIND A SLOW CAR, EVERY SINGLE TIME IT WOULD DIE, EVEN WHEN I DROVE AT A SLOWER SPEED. SOME OF THE MOST TRUSTED MECHANICS HAVE RETURNED IT TO ME "FIXED", ONLY 4 ME 2 DRIVE A FEW MILES & IT WOULD DIE AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO A MACHINE, THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND THEN SCRATCHED THEIR HEADS. ????
