Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

What engine ?

Are you certain about that model year, because pre 1996 it should be an OBD-I car and those only have 2 digit error codes !

If it was flooded, find the PCM, remove it and open it up. If there is any corrosion inside of it, you will need a new one. Good luck finding one !

Is there any chance that bad a bad plug cable or bad spark plugs can cause all those trouble codes??

It could, give it a shot, buy new plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter and see what happens. Not too expensive, might need a new cap and rotor too. And can I ask how you scanned? Also, if im not mistaken, if you disconnect the MAF while the car is running and it doesnt run any different, I believe that means your MAF is bad.

As it sounds... I did disconected the maf sensor while engine was running and nothing happened, same for the TPS sensor.
Iīll try by changing the wires and plugs, becouse it sounds like a bad plug to me. Iīll keep you posted.

MAF sensor unreachable. TPS open circuit.
thatīs what Autozoneīs guys told me....

I didn't think that a 93 had MAF so I went to Rockauto who lists a MAP sensor for your car, not a MAF

According to autone guys and local mechanics it does have a maf sensor, but thatīs not the point anyway. even with new plugs and wires itīs running the same way.
What should hapen if I disconect the maf sensor with engine iddling?? (mine didnīt do a thing or a noise). What if i disconect the tps?? (mine rev the engine a few for like 3 seconds and thatīs all).
When I changed the plugs, I found one with a lot of oil and like mud or some kind of stuf like that, which make me think that cilynder is not working.
Does someone knows how to check injectorīs voltage( how much volts should I read from it???)???
Can a stuck valve show my engineīs sympthoms??
Isnīt there any solution or liquid to add to the gasoline to help free that valve??
