help w/ '96 302

hello
I have a 96 E.B. w/ aut 302
The check engine light has been on and it sounds as if im driving a diesel when i press the gas. Everything else seems find its just this damn noise and i believe my gas mileage has suffered a little. The power is still there it just sounds like its gonna blow!
I went to the fordfuelinjection site to see about getting the codes. I would assume since i have a 96 EEC that i have the V and not the IV. His site just has directions for getting the IV.
Any ideas, suggestions would be highly appreciated.
thanks

If you're going to keep the truck for awhile longer, I would invest in a "V" code reader you can pick up at your local autoparts store. Or, while you're there, they can pull the codes for you.

My 96 has the OBD II computer system. I think this was the first year. The port for the code scanner is right under the center of the dash. I think the last year for the EEC was 95. Maybe this will help.
