As VJS said, I can find the ECM # for you if you have the calibration code. But I want to know that you are going to read my posts and use the information before I go to that trouble. It isn't easy and I have better things to do if not.
Gary - I have read every single post you have offered. I don't necessarily understand them, but have struggled to do so. I also looked at your chart, but again am a novice at this and have a hard time making sense of it all. And there's been a LOT of information coming from all players and I am trying to understand all of it.

I am reading all of your posts and do appreciate your efforts to help me.

I realize that we are throwing a lot of information at you. But you keep asking the same question, like the one about "E5AE-9C485-CRD". And you've been told that a calibration code looks like "5-54Q-R01" and yet you say "There's another number in the engine compartment that indicates: E2AE-9H483-AA." Please keep your focus and we can get you through this.

Ok, if you cannot find the calibration code I can get you close, like to two or three calibration codes that may take the same ECM. And I'm willing to do that work if you need to know the ECM #. But I need to know the following info about your truck: Year, model, engine, transmission, California or 49-state, and high-altitude or not. The latter info should be stated on the label on the panel between the grill and radiator.

Thanks, Gary!

I will have to look where you indicated on the label between the grill and the radiator.

However, to this point know that I have an 1985 F150 5.0 EFI with a C6 tranny. The truck was assembled in Canada.

I will look to where you indicated and report back to you.

Steve

Gary - It is made for altitude less than 4,000 feet.

Yes - I will also note that I found the fuel pump reset button located behind the glove compartment. It doesn't appear to work and the button will not reset. Don't know if this helps any but it is another piece of information.

Inirtia Switch? Yellow wires?

The switch button has to be pried up I believe, so it is probobly ok.

You can check the switch for continuity through it.

It looks like there's only one calibration code, 5-54Q-R01, and only one part list: 479. You can see that here as there's only one entry for a C6.





And, here's the parts list, with the processor listed as part number E5TZ 12A650-SB. But, it won't have that number on it. Instead, it will be marked either E5TF 12A650-S1B or -S2B. And, by the way, the other parts specific to that calibration code are in that list.

Thanks, Vince. That also indicates High Altitude Carb. My vehicle states less than 4,000 feet and it is an EFI system. Does that matter?

Seems the reset button is OK. When I disconnect the yellow wires to it and try to start, it won't start. It starts right up when reconnected.

RockAuto has the E5TZ12A650SB with that number on it. Whew! Thanks a bunch!!!

Sorry, Gary. Multiple messages coming in. Thanks for your hard work on this! Much appreciated!

I am suffering a bit from some brain issues. I am actually disabled due to a multitude of physical factors that precipitates some serious memory loss, ability to concentrate, etc. You think it's been a nightmare, talk with my wife! lol
She's caught between empathy and frustration 24/7.

Anyway, you've been a real champ as well as Vincent, ctubutis and some others over the years. Thanks for all of your help. The ECM is ordered from RockAuto and when it gets here, I hope the problem is solved.

Steve

Steve - I'm sorry for your difficulties. And, for being short with you. I sure you don't want special treatment, but we might be more understanding if you would tell us of your problems. I toyed with circling the various codes before I posted the pics, but my theory is that I shouldn't have to do all of the work. However, had I known I would have circled them so you could see where the info was coming from.

Anyway, I'm glad that you were able to find the ECM, and I hope it solves the problem.
