ECM expert advice needed HELP !!

Okay so i bought a 1992 f-150 5.8 e4od truck i have been doing some work with this old girl and it runs.... just runs and drives not bad not good just works.. anyway i have been having some issues with it and the only thing i have not changed on the truck is the ecm..


so i pulled the computer out today and i believe to have the wrong computer. not only that there is a jumper ran across it to which i have no clue what its for


the truck runs okay i guess but no matter what always runs rich injectors have been changed 2 new fuel tanks and 2 new fuel pumps new fpr etc. there is almost always a miss at idle. new pickup new coil plugs wires icm etc the trottle never knows where to idle itll start and idle down sometimes around 500 - 600 according to my tac. some days if it sits itll start and rev up to 1500 then drop to 400 back to 1000 then back to 1500. if i drive it around the block it goes back to behaving "normal" tps and iac aswell as throttlebody have been replaced. intake gasket was done and there are no vacuum leaks.

im trying to find any computer that should work with this combo i would love to have the factory one for it but i have no clue how to obtain this info. please if anyone can help i would love it

i love this old truck and i will not get rid of it

Cuts & Jumps are standard make-operable PWA mods. As someone who wrote many specifications for DoD procured equipment, we would limit the number of Cuts & Jumps Supplier's could make in their final Printed Wiring Assemblies (aka circuit boards). Exceed the amount and the Supplier would have to re-spin new circuit boards.

Does the truck have a Calibration Code decal on the drivers door pillar? That represents the correct PCM for your truck.

I know I'm late to the party...I got a reman from Rockauto for a '95 F150. Also, Napa sends them out to be rebuilt.

Just get a QuarterHorse, no need for a whole new computer.
