ECM Replacement - Which one?
So today I think I found the reason why my 1993 E-350 based class C RV is not running.
I pulled the ECM and googled the part number F0DF-12A650-SA and found it was NOT for my vehicle.
It has a remanufactured ECM that is for a Ford Taurus. . . I'm not sure how or why the previous owner would have done that.
But now the problem I have is that I do not know the correct part number for the ECM replacement.
When looking up the parts I see two choices: F2TF-GBor F3TF-JA. How can I find which of these is correct?
My calibration sticker shows: 3-98E-R00 and F3AE-6E061-HGU
VIN is 1FDKE30G5PHA96224

Not sure a dealer could pull up that year's correct ECM and/or its calibration code(s) but they would be a good place to begin. Naturally had the PO not removed the original you could have used its part number.
Perhaps also call the outfits who repair ECM's--they may have the correct part.
Hope this isn't a difficult find.

Update: Ford dealership was able to tell me the original part number. Nobody carries it locally and junk yards didn't have it either. So, I went ahead and bought a Cardone remanufactured ECM on rockauto and splurged on the overnight shipping. So we'll see tomorrow if my months of troubleshooting on this motor were all for this single issue.
Hopefully rockauto won't mind a Ford Taurus ECM for my core exchange

.Who did you talk to at the dealer? Did they just need the VIN or the VIN and Calibration code?
Thank for the help.
