A friend contacted me today saying he was being given a car: '88 Tempo All-wheel-drive. I've never even heard of such thing, must be pretty rare. He hasn't taken posession yet, but told me it had a problem whereby there's a wire on the starter solenoid which needs to be plugged in for it to start, but then it runs badly until this wire is disconnected, after which it runs ok. Anyone got an idea about the problem he's talking about? I haven't seen the car yet, just going by what he described. I have a degree in auto tech, but I'm not a big Ford man--don't own any, rarely work on them.
