How big are the pics?
I have not had issues with Pablo's pics before.

Yeah! Connection is slow now. I will try to use other server. Who knows code #86? My scanner doesn't recognise it.
About ECT. I have installed GM ECT sensor (from Opel), but I've made an adapter and use the other connector. It operates well!

The first connector near the Master Cylinder is called the SPOUT plug, and you must disconnect it to do base timing on a 3.0L. It's also there for the 4.0L. Alas, on the 4.0L you can only check your base timing, but cannot do any adjustment. After you're done checking, you must plug it back in for the computer to do its things with the timing advance.
The second connector is for the temperature gauge for those with a digital dashboard. If you have an analog dashboard, that plug is just sitting there doing nothing. One of these days, if my ECT connector breaks, I'll use that thing as a replacement. As we like to say in the aerospace business - built-in redundancy - only on a Ford

the electronic distributorless 3.0L used in later Aeros and Rangers also does not have a Spout plug...the 3L electronic and the 4L have an Octane plug which has a similar physical appearance to this Spout plug. pulling the Octane plug retards timing by 3>5d and is used as a service device by Ford tech. serv for engine predetonation and low quality fuel problems, commonly pulled in Mexico to run their 82 octane Novas grade gas
both engines have a base timing of +10d +-2d set by the fixed position of the crankshaft pickup sensor

Pablo has an older model, so I doubt that he has a distributorless engine. As for the SPOUT plug, the 1995 4.0L I have still has that. It also has an Octane plug, but it's a different one further up near the Master Cylinder.

I have distributor. As I've anderstood, if the plug is pulled out, ecu does not correct timing in depence of vacuum and RPMs.

Well doing a search all I could find looks like it could be a bad O2 Sensor, Bad fuel pressure, bad ignition, or leaking injectors.
