Good Morning all,
Ive been a member of this great website since before Christmas when I was looking to buy my first Tbird SC and it really helped me in knowing what to look for! Ive now got a 1990 35th Anny car and is believed to be one of only 3 in this country.
The car has been really fine until the other day when on hard acceleration it just lost all power but didnt cut out at all. It seems to run fine on 'normal' driving but doesnt like anything too hard! I have noticed that I have no head on the bolt holding the harmonic balancer on so I am assuming that this may well be a balancer on its way out.Could the balancer cause this sort of problem? I am assuming that maybe the crank positioning sensor couldnt get a correct reading and thats what caused it to die.
I have been quoted £440 UK (approx $650 US) for a new balancer from a UK based US parts supplier but thought that was a bit excessive!
Can anyone recommend a supplier that would ship a balancer to me here in the UK? I would probably replace it with a BHJ item if I can get one shipped here.
Many thanks,
Don Hardy
