Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default 1989 T Bird starting suggestions....

I've got a 1989 Ford T Bird SC that used to idle at 3k rpm back in 2002.... I replaced the air idle sensor, then added a new battery. The car lights come on and she turns over but will not fire... With carb cars I would just put some gas down the carb and they start fine..... Can I put starting fluid down the air intake or something? What other trouble shooting steps should I take?
-Thanks

Ok so I got some starter fluid and took off the air intake snorkle and shot it in there... It turns over still but didn't start.... Its got a Up arrow and the check engine light on when I have the key over.... So what do either of those mean?
