Could someone please lookup a code 14 for me on my EB?
I ran both running and engine off diags and the computer is spitting
out a code 14 with the car running. Im experiencing bad idle and bad
missfire thats slowly getting worse. Replaced ign coil, sparks, leads and dizz cap. Any help apprecicated!

Its easy if you do a few things: remove the ISC, fan shroud, rocker cover breather hose where it attaches to the manifold. I think thats all thats in that area. That way you have a bit of room to move your hands.

Ive heard theyre something rediculous like $150 new. I got a 2nd handie from a wrecker when mine died...

Would this be the most likely cause??? I Want to get a new one if its faulty...
The code 14 doesnt come up all the time. I did the test a few times and it displayed the code 11 twice out of 4. Loom looks fine tho. I just expected a dizzy to last longer than 2 years.

Repco sells them for around $80 or $90 for 6 cylinders and they want around $300+ for a V8.... This was the price few months ago I don't know if they are still the same price.... It's funny how everything for a ford V8 costs 3 times as much.
