Hello All,
I have been reading the posts about PO135 PO141 PO155 and have followed the same things other guys have described. Replaced the O2 sensors and still trouble codes. I have ordered an ECM from Advance Auto Parts. The only info they needed from the truck was the calibration code. Do I just install the new one? Are there any other steps to it?
Thanks,
Scott

 

Plug in and start up let ecm get to know motor . Good luck on new ecm . I don't
know if calibration code is different for the 96 Or just engine specific . You have the OBDII and it has extra wires ETC . Advanced screwed a friend of mine that way .

Go to www.fordinjection.com it will give what may be problems and how to test everything . May save cost of a ecm/pcu
Good luck

 

needless to say you should have the battery disconnected when working on the computer.

 

Well, Put the computer in two days ago. Truck runs better and check engine light is staying off. Must be something to it.

 

engine specific

 

My engine is the 5.0 I ordered the computer using the calibration code from the sticker in the door.

 

Glad it work out . I use used parts ( I got em ) . Sorry I didn't help you .

 

No problem. I am just glad that pesky little light is out. I've been thinking of a rear disc brake conversion. My truck has 3/4 ton axles and 13inches of lift. Also I believe I have a bad front bearing in my transfer. It makes noise from that area when locked in and running.

 

Can anyone tell me the location of the ECM on a 1996 Ford F150 with a 302?

 

Looking at the firewall, it is on the right side. Kind of lower and to the right of the were the steering come through the firewall

 

Thanks for your help and quick response Helm

 

No problem, and please dont mind my seemingly terrible spelling.

 

Iv got a 1996 f150 and I have done a ton of work to it. It’s a whole different machine the problem I’m having is I don’t think it’s running to its potential. Iv been told after everything done to it I need to have the ecm tunned. It’s to old to use a chip so I assume I need to pull it and send it somewhere but I don’t know who does this kind of work. I’m hoping someone can help me with a resource.

You should start your own thread, a new one rather than cross posting on old 10+ year old threads.

Your computer is not too old, you can get one of the following:
- Tweecer
- Quarter Horse
- PimpX

Now it depends on your budget and learning curve.

 

Thank you for the advice and resources. I was only able to find the tweecer that worked for my year and model. But that looks very advanced. I wouldn’t know where to start on using the software or knowing what data to input.
