Hello everybody!
I am new to forum and of course I already have a question!
Recently swapped a ranger 5 speed into my auto 1999 Explorer XLT 4.0 SOHC.
With that being said the ECM is the original. Now when I drive it the truck "bucks" (engine power/acceleration stops and comes right back within a split second) as if the truck is trying to shift the automatic even though it is not there anymore. This has not (to my knowledge) had any adverse effects on the truck. It is just REALLY annoying to drive.
What do you guys think? I thought, and was told, that swapping in an ECM from a manual SOHC explorer of same year would fix the problem. Or possibly a Ranger with a manual SOHC would also do the trick. The problem is that I cannot find an ECM in the junkyard. Would anyone happen to know the proper part number so that I can just buy the ECM from a parts store?
Thanks everyone!
