This changed for the 1991 model year, as a V8 was once again offered in the Thunderbird, positioned between the standard and supercharged versions of the 3.8-liter V6. Initially, only V6 engines were offered, the first time the Thunderbird did not come with a V8. The suspension was comprised of an independent setup with short-and-long arms (SLA) and a spring strut assembly in the front and multiple links in the back. It used Ford's MN12 (Mid-Size North American Project 12) platform, which had been in development since 1984. The completely redesigned Tenth Generation Thunderbird was introduced on December 2th of 1988 for the 1989 model year and being alongside its Mercury Cougar cousin. The 1992 Ford Thunderbird was part of the tenth generation of Thunderbirds, having been first introduced in 1955 in response to the Chevy Corvette. A five-speed manual and four-speed automatic was available. The third engine option was an overhead-valve V-8 displacing 5 liters and offering 200 horsepower. With the optional supercharger, horsepower rose to 210. They came with three engine options including the standard 3.8-liter V6 offering 140 horsepower. Refer to Section 11-02 of the appropriate year Thunderbird/Cougar Service Manual for additional diagnosis and repair information.Ford produced 73,892 examples of the Thunderbird in 1992.
Replace the EVO module with a new module that has improved filtering for electrical noise. The EVO module then interprets this as an increase in vehicle speed and reduces the steering assistance to the heavier for highway level. This is due to electrical "noise" from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) being picked up by the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) module. Steering efforts at low speeds may intermittently increase to the heavier for highway setting on some vehicles.
