Welcome to FTE. Pull the codes. If you go to www.fordfuelinjection.com, on the righthand side is a link that says "Pulling the codes yourself", or something to that affect. All you need is some wire, a pad of paper and a pen. Pretty easy to do. Thats the only way we are going to be able to help you.

ok the way i understand it the sti should be a single pin plug my truck has the 6 pin triangle box and directly behind it is a round plug with 2 round pins after you remove it from the cap and below it is a square one hanging with a gray cap it has 2 female looking plugs in it i dont want to connect to anything being unsure my luck i will burn up somthing also i just noticed that the vaccum line to what i assume is the egr was unplugged and a screw was used to plug it and on the egr nothing just the bare nipple where the line would go no plug off on it maybe the guy i bought it from was to tight to buy one so that may be my problem i will plug it up ofcourse and see what happens tommorow. I really cant complain it runs great and drives better the body is perfect except for som paint fade and i got it for $800 bucks but i would like to resolve this problem as i think it may be robbing some power..
