OT: 1990 Thunderbird code 43 continuous memory

Jun 30, 2004 0 Replies

I have a 1990 tbird with the 3.8 non supercharged engine, it has been randomly stalling when I stop at lights or start to accelerate, when it stalls it restarts but you have to wait up to 4 min. It also has been running rough, also that is random at times. I pulled the codes and the only one that showed up was a continuous memory code 43 "was lean at WOT for moe than 3 seconds-Fuel control. ok I understand the words, but where do i start? I checked all of the vacuum hoses and they are all fine, tune up has been done last spring...filters plugs wires cap rotor...etc...does anyone else have any informed guesses? I thought O2 sensors...one was changed 2 years ago when I replaced the head gaskets. Anyway that is the only code that keeps popping up after i clear them.



I love my Mustang but I cant take all the dogs the baby and the screaming wife in it peacefully, so I need my Tbird!


I know this is off topic as far as cars...but its on topic as far as the engine goes!! Thanks
