#4 of 8 93 tc runs rough after new alternator install by hankc2 Jul 26, 2008 (4:05 am)
My 93 TC runs great .Has 184K miles, but is in good shape. A mechanic bud replaced the Alternator yesterday ( bearings shot), now car stalls, and idles unevenly..FYI, had to drive car about 7 miles presumably off batt. power before alt. replaced. Do I need to re-set something to get car to run smoothly again ? Replies to this message: nwraaa (Jul 28, 2008 9:36 am) hankc2 (Jul 28, 2008 10:28 am)

Replying to: hankc2 (Jul 26, 2008 4:05 am) You should not have to do any special re-programing to get the car to run properly. Is the mechanic sure that he properly reconnected all the components that were disturbed during the replacement of the altenator? This is a new altenator but is it the correct altenator and is it producing the proper electrical power output? Replies to this message: hankc2 (Jul 28, 2008 10:28 am)

Replying to: nwraaa (Jul 28, 2008 9:36 am) Thank you very much for the reply.. I feel pretty sure about proper reconnections ....but You mentioned the proper alternator ...and now I am wondering if that is the case ...It is made by Visteon ..could it be that the parts house he had it delivered from brought the wrong one ? Do you know of a way I could check ( AMPS.output or alternator model # etc.?) Any additional help would truly be appreciated !!

Yes, this is a 302 V-8 but most importantly it is a Windsor. The Windsor was only used in Town Cars in 1990. I have a 1990 Town Car, it has 249,659 miles on it and still runs strong it does not burn or leak oil at all between oil changes. Replies to this message: euphonium (Feb 10, 2009 7:41 pm)

Replying to: LincolniteLady (Feb 10, 2009 5:36 pm) Memory says in 1980 the TC had the 302 as their standard engine,however, only in that year was the 351 optional. I owned the 1980 351 until it was totaled in a parking lot crash. It was replaced with a 1982 TC with the 302 engine which was the only available engine up & including 1990 and 1990 was the last year for the 302. 1991 was the first year for the TC to have the 4.6 engine.
