Had a problem with stalling for no reason, but fixed now.
This car is awesome, it's fast and with the addons I have I raced it against friends. I just got a ticket the other day for speeding, and also the acceleration is wicked if you have good tires. To think I got mine for free.
You say your Tempo is fast? What engine do you have in it? With an AT, it must be the 3.0 litre V-6.
What addons do you have for your car? Let me know.

Please give me the long list of add-ons to this vehicle. My 86 Ford Tempo had many many add-ons such as tinted windows and power windows, but It doesn't have a 350 in it with duel exhaust. You make this car sound like a beast. The truth is--God couldn't fix this lemon.
How did you solve the stalling problem? My dad has a 86 Tempo and is having the same kind of problems. His mechanic is stumped.
Please email me at portmaster1000@hotmail.com if you can tell me the steps you took to solve this problem.
Thanx
Mark.
Wicked acceleration (giggle)? In a Tempo (ha ha ha ha... Stop it, my sides are splitting!!! HE HE HE HE!!!)??
My '86 with 47K on the clock would run 0-60 in 16.5 seconds... and that is after I did some work to it.
Two words do not belong in the same sentence... acceleration and Tempo. Unless, of course, it is referring to a LACK OF acceleration.
If anyone knows what add ons this guy had, or if you have the same car with any tips, please tell me, I am looking to make this thing at least 2% better than it is now, my email is XxCkyPhilxX@aol.com, thank you.
Got a 3.0 Litre Tempo GL that is not afraid to go down the road with the tires burning. So for all of you that say a TEMPO.. Pull up next to me with your car and we can see what happens from there. Ford put out the Tauras and then the Tempo. Someone at ford decided to combine the two, took the motor out of a tauras and squeezed it into the Tempo. I use squeezed due to there is enough for the motor and the cooling fan and that's it. So anyone one who has a Tempo GL with a 3.0 let me know if there are any performance parts, due to I like when all those Honda's pull up next to me and all they get to see if GL in the front window. Until next time. Keep your feet to the floor.
I need a new taillight for my 86' Ford Tempo in order to get a safety check (yes, here in Hawaii we need safety checks). I've looked all over the place and the closest that I have come to finding one is an 88' model. I was wondering if any of you knew if it would fit into my 86'? Thanks!
