Not again!!!
So after about 1000 miles it happened again. The problem I was having about a month or two ago was that one bank of injectors was not shutting off. They would dtay open and flood out, dumping unmentional amounts of gas into the cylinders.
I replaced a few sensors and checked a everything. I ended up removing the ECU to get the code number off of it for reference. Once I reinstalled the box everything worked fine.
anyways the truck did it again and I removed the computer and reinstalled it and it ran normal again.
Any ideas on this? has this happened to anyonce else before? Anyone got an EEC for a 1991 F150 stick shift that they wouldn't mind parting with?
Thanks for your help.

is the ground wire connected to the fender? there is also some kind of silicone glue around the large connector to keep moisture out. Also sounds like could be a loose conection somewhere. Aftermarket computers aren't too high but you got to give up you old one for a core charge. Last time I priced one for my '91 , the core charge was higher than the computer!

As others have suggested it could be a short in the wiring. It may also be the EEC itself. The injectors are controlled by "drivers" (basically relay IC's) which maybe the problem.
I would double check the wiring again, and then go price out a reconditioned (or new) computer at the local parts store. I do have one I don't need (I swaped a 351/E40D for my 302/5 speed), but I am in Canada so shipping is a bit of a hassel. I don't think the reconditioned ones are all that much.
Bye.
