    Front License Plate bracket

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    Unfortunately, because of the low placement of the bracket, and less than sturdy design, the originals have usually been obliterated by curbs... Best of luck. And for the record, the ones from a LeBaron coupe or convertible can be made to work (drill into the rubber bumper strip) but they are not the same as the one on the TC.

    TC fuel pump

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    Some pumps are more prone to failure than others. GM Truck and SUV fuel filters are notorious for failing.

    I had my LeBaron with the 2.2L turbo engine for 233,000 miles and never replaced either the turbo or the fuel pump. I did always use premium in it.

    I am famous for running the gas tank down to fumes and buying the cheapest gas I can find. My hubby constantly berates me for doing this for the reasons stated above. They do make sense. But I've never had a fuel pump failure. Ever. And I have had no less than 5 vehicles go well over the 200,000 mile mark.

    I think sitting for extended periods and being a garage queen has more to do with it than anything. Every fuel pump failure I've encountered with friends cars has been in cars that are not driven regularly. This is just my opinion and experience.

    For Sale: Ginger Passenger Seat out of 89 TC.

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    Have a ginger leather seat out of an 89 TC. There are no tears in the seat leather. There are two areas less than 1" long where the leather has worn along the bead edge by the door. There is some minor surface cracking in the leather finish but it isn't readily apparent. The leather is still pretty supple although it is stiff along the area by the shoulder seat belt. I have cleaned and extensively conditioned the seat. The seat motors all work in all directions.

    Asking $175.00 as shown in the pics. In-person pick up preferred, but I am willing to ship for actual shipping costs.

    Part needed: Hardtop latch handle

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Posted

    They will all interchange. The 89's/early 90's had an actual latch above the b-pillar, where the later cars (later 90's/91's) just had a centering post that slid into the hole.

    The earlier hardtop latch will fit in the hole for the later one; there just isn't anything to "latch" to. The later post one will fit into the latch for the early one.

    Tc died on the highway

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    Never seen the ECM do it, but I've seen the distributor gear wear out and do it (it's nylon), broken pick up coil wires do it (they can rub and cause intermittent cutting out under load before breaking entirely), bad coils do it, bad coil wires do it...

    I would pick something else in the ignition system before the ECM. Like Lou and other said, maybe someone to scan your systems for you?

    Parting an '89 -

    in Chrysler's TC by Maserati

    I may, but I won't know for a while. We bought the car to be a donor car for our TC with a blown motor. Until the transplant is complete and we have everything we need, I can't sell any of the engine-related parts. It will be about a month before I know if I can sell it.

    Sorry

    1991 Chrysler TC by Maserati For Sale

    Yanno, one would think that if you work at a dealership you would have some interest in the product your are dealing with (cars) and how it works and how to interact with it. I cannot tell you how many times I've gone to a dealership for various reasons and find that I know more about the product then the people who sell them and in some cases, work on them. I've been offered a few jobs as a result. wink.gif

    No lie, one dealer I went to, one of the sales guys did not know even the most basic differences between a gas and diesel engine. So, I am not surprised that they connected a battery charger up wrong. Why is that level of incompetence tolerated at dealerships?
