    Replaced computer, still running rich

    update.. I replaced the MAF body with one from 1997 4.0 - I couldn't get one for my year that easily. The first I did was the KOEO test, and it passed without any error codes. I had cleared my CM codes, and I guess I did not error codes was because I had erased them. I then did a KOER test...

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    fuel pressure.. I) Finished testing the fuel pressure. i) 35-40 psi at key on engine off. ii) 30 psi at when I start the engine. No change in pressure upon revving, etc. My Haynes manual says that these is as close to normal as you can get. I guess this out the fuel pressure...

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    clarification.. My choice of the phrase "intake plenum" may be inappropriate. What I mean is the metal body that the MAF attaches to....

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    could the culprit be intake? I invested in a fuel pressure gauge, and the accessories. Should get to measuring the fuel pressure tomorrow. Thanks for the info on Glacier's post, that was very helpful. To be extra careful, I am going to i) disconnect the inertia switch connector, ii) remove...

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    another update.. I cleared the CM codes, and then drove the car around for sometime. The CEL came on after driving for a while, but then went away after 2-3 minutes, during the drive. I decided to go ahead and do a KOER test. I got two error codes: i) KOER - 137 ii) KOER - 173 As you...

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    update.. Thanks for the reply and tips. I checked the voltage at the DPFE connector. My analog multimeter isn't good for that low voltages, but I checked the voltage while the car was running on the three wires that go into the connector (from the PCM). The light green connector reported...

    Replaced computer, still running rich

    History: I have a 95 XLT Sport and I have failed emissions twice before. Turns out I had an faulty, which was then replaced by an incorrect ECM. FI finally installed the new computer today, drove around for 10 miles, and then headed straight to the emissions center. No CEL on my way to the...

    cable attached to the hood?

    thanks.. that's good news, I don't have to worry about the connector for now. I'll scavenge the light assembly from when I have time to kill, and attach this dangling cable there.

    cable attached to the hood?

    I am replacing the hood on my 95 XLT sport with one from a 1997 sport. My original hood has this cable coming off the firewall, which then attaches to a unit onto the underside of the hood. There is no such connection on the new hood. What does this unit do? Is it the a temp sensing unit for...

    Faulty replacement ECM?

    Re: The PCM was diagnosed to be fried by the ford dealership. I decided to take it to one after going through around 10 shops in a year, trying to read off the codes. Each and every shop gave up, but there are so much confusion. You are right about the OBD-II issue, as most of the shops...

    Faulty replacement ECM?

    thanks. Thanks for the reply. I cannot locate the ECM that would fit this car. I called a dealer, and he said that 1995 is too old to look up based on the VIN number. Is it possible for anyone here to look up the correct ECM that would fit my car, or is there any resource that allows me...

    Faulty replacement ECM?

    Hi: I have had a range of issues on my 95 XLT Explorer (manual, EEV-IV), so let me give a bit of history before I get to the question. i) I have failed emissions twice, with HC and CO readings which are off the charts (HC 7 times overlimit, CO 3 times overlimit) ii) I could not access...
