Working on a 1988 Ford Bronco that has an incorrect ECM and could use some help finding what it was as-built. Looked everywhere but I am coming up with nada. I have the VIN and also the calibration code from the sticker on the driver door. Can anyone please help me before I lose my mind?
VIN: 1FMEU15H9JLA81803 (California vehicle)
1988 Ford Bronco with a 5.8L V8 OHV 16V engine 4WD/AWD
351ci
Calibration code listed (not sure if from original or the incorrect one that is in it now): 8-64R-R10 E8AE-6E061-AFM
How do you know it's incorrect? Is an auto or manual trans?
It's an automatic and he was told by the person he purchased it from that the ECM was not the original one as-built because he had the same issue locating the correct one.

Buovl, I cannot thank you enough! The CA emissions one is the correct unit. You saved the day as well as my sanity.
Very well then. Glad I could help! I kind of went through this on my 93 f250 some years back, and to do a little research back then. That Oreilly's info is current however.
