Did the codes again while depressing the clutch. Nothing. Nice bright check engine light that never flickers. I must have one of two problems. Broken wire or something else bad in the computer. My guess is a wiring problem. Anytime you open the factory harness and skin a wire the copper is green. I have redone the eec and fuel pump relays multiple times. Always the same story copper corrosion. I don't care if you slop it up with Grote pigtail dope and heat shrink it. It comes back.

It is running fine since the capacitor and ign module change. Just going to let her run and worry about it when I have some more time or when I'm walking. LOL I'll just keep it to trips of a couple of mile walk to a friends place. My 15 F350 is for the long stuff.
