i have a 1990 sc ... ... . when i take off from a stop or at a stop sign .... that engine revs but the car doesnt go anywhere for about 1 sec ... it shifts through all gears fine but it only slips or stalls when im at a stop ...... if i try to take off fast it will rev up the go in gear and spin the tires and take off ,,,,, anyone have any ideas? . ? . ? :(


its never done this to me before ..just started about 2 days ago
 
TV Linkage

I agree with the low-fluid suggestion, but you might also want to check to see that the TV linkage is still connected at the throttlebody. (I'm assuming this is an AOD.) Especially since it just suddenly started doing this...
 
To expand on Larry's post if the cable is still hooked up check a little closer and make sure that the bushing isn't cracked and that the cable is tight in the bushing. You can buy a replacement bushing at Ford. There is a copper (I believe) bushing replacement available from Ford to replace the stock plastic piece.
