Default 1991 Telstar TX5 Ghia Engine Codes

Hi all, great forum with heaps of helpful info.

Down to my issue, just got my TX5 back from the mechanic and it is running really bad after 1/2 an hour. I would like to look at the engine fault codes. Plenty of info out there for the 626/Probes but I can't find where to connect for the Telstar TX5's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The engine is running like it is only firing two cyclinders when it gets a good heat soak through the engine bay. At cold and short trips round town it is running OK. But I do long trips for work and don't want to get stuck anywhere. Lucky it started playing up about 5km from home and limped home.

Cheers,
Quattro.

Thanks but they haven't got any service manuals or much info in any of the forum topics or posts. Any more ideas. Have tried pdftown and a few other location.

1991 ford telsar repair manual

so heat is the issue effecting the electronics

dont know your model so this is a guess

if coil plugs, dissy cap, and leads have been replaced

replace the engine management computer - get one from a wrecker
till you get one that works

electronically the fault codes read the following sensors
ecu /dissy module / the air flow meter/ the throttle position sensor/02 sensor as the common listings

you can buy an LED tester from dick smiths
