Hey guys. I have an 86 v6 coupe I'm selling locally. Buyer thinks it may be an 85 because it has the throttle body injection. He says 86 v6 cars should be efi. Can anyone answer? If 86 is correct year, should it be efi?

And to answer the question, I'm out of town and the title is home. I'm fairly certain it says 86 but now I'm questioning myself.

No idea about the V6 but the 86 should have the third brake light, unless someone removed it.
Good luck with your sale.

Ford used the throttle body aka cfi on the v6. They also called the same set up efi on the V8 in 84/85

Not that it matters any more, but I don't think the 3.8 got MPFI until '88.

By the way, I've had nothing but tire kickers on the car. So I'm getting ready to list it here in FEP classifieds.

Sorry. I was speaking in general about the 3.8 engine in whatever car it was installed in. Basically the CFI would still be the installed induction on the 3.8 on any car in 1986. Maybe the buyer was thinking because the V8 switched to MPFI in '86 that the V6 followed suit, but it did not.

The v6 was dropped about November 85 so some 86 cars did go out with it. Also the V8 was not readily available as well. Special ordered cars were delayed
