Question by Larry O: A “tune up like”condenser on a 1988 Ford Tempo?
I have still have a Tempo that I purchased new in 1988 . (4.2 Lt.) And it had a condenser, like the old condensers on the “points” type distributors.But it wasn’t part of the distributor, I’m just describing it.
It was hooked up to a hot wire and screwed to the engine.I took it off and lost it somehow.When I tried to replace it, the auto parts store said that they didn’t see any part like it in their inventory catalog.
Recently I’ve been having some problems with my radio/cd player. The “check engine” light comes on during radio play, and all 4-speakers don’t always work.Someone said the missing condenser could have been a radio static filter, and I wonder if that could be causing my other radio electrical problems ?

you have a 2.4 liter by the way no the other way, but any how I know what you are talking about and that is what it is for it is a noise capacitor, they have them on all ford engines, it stops the noise that is coming off the distributor. go to Ford they will have one or hit the auto wreaker they are all the same you might have to wire it in. just make sure it is grounded and it can go anywhere good luck
