SD to MAF Conversion - Write up?
Check your Haynes and Chilton and you'll see a 5.8 CA bronco, f-series has a MAP sensor along with the MAF and two 02 sensors.
Separate from that is your 94-95 auto 5.0 broncos/f-series which has only one 02 sensor and no MAP sensor (and 9 tranny wires instead of 8).
I saw a '95 5.8 auto bronco in a junkyard in San Jose, CA with only one 02 sensor just last weekend(?)
All of this just confuses the hell out of me.
I have a computer from a long time ago with a program code of RAN2 (not listed on fordfuelinjection) that I grabbed from a 95 f250 long before I knew to check for CA vs. FED emissions, light duty vs. heavy duty. I have no clue whether its meant for one 02 sensor or two, BAP/MAP or no, I only know it came off an e40d 5.8 95 f250 in another junkyard in CA. I want to use the computer, but don't know what style harness I'm looking for to match it correctly.
Something that the author of this MAF conversion guide should look into is differences between vehicle speed sensing and auto trans wiring through the years.
I know that super lift sells a different TruSpeed calibrator for 94+ broncos than the one I installed on my 92. I had it calibrated for my 35s and 4:56 gears and as soon as i converted to maf usin a 94 5.0 harness/ecu i lost my speedo. I need to look over vehicle speed sensing circuits/PSOM wiring differences from 92-95 to hopefully determine whether or not the f250 computer and some other 5.8 harness will work for my 5.8 roller/MAF conversion or if I'm just wasting more time and money.
I'm almost to the point where I'm considering swapping out my expensive rebuilt e40d and t-case for a zf 5 speed so I can use a manual truck or remapped mustang computer and be done with this conversion finally. I had no idea it was going to be such a learning experience for me, I now own 92, 94, and (soon) 95 bronco f-series EVTMs, two ford fuel injection harnesses , three computers (2 MAF), 2MAF sensors, 4TFI units, and now I've decided to go 5.8 becuase it seems that 95 5.8s have the correct wiring for my 92 e40d. All I gotta do is find the right donor vehicle to harvest an uncut engine/trans harness from, once I've figured out which donor vehicles will/won't work for my particular application.
I'm not in a position to give much advice, since my conversion has yet to be successful. I still think it should be noted that anyone with an e40d/4r70w looking to convert to MAF pay close attention to the wiring diagrams of your vehicle and any parts vehicles before buying anything, and I don't mean just haynes or chilton.
Tell me exactly what you are doing, or trying to do, and I'll see if I can be of more assistance.
According to haynes/chilton I can't use the MAF 94-95 vin N (5.0) becuase of the trans wiring. The wires are routed differently and an extra wire is shown. (I tried using a 94 5.0 ecu/harness with my flat-tappet 5.0 and my trans was definitely getting the wrong signals)
The 1995 CA 5.8 f series and broncos have the same trans wiring as my 92 5.0/e40d does. (and by the way has the only wiring diagram for an 8 cylinder with 2 o2 sensors in haynes/chilton other than the 96, which has eec-v and 3 o2 sensors)
The computer is from a mass-air 95 351/e40d f250, I dont know if it was heavy duty or not and I didn't check to see if it had one or two 02 sensors when i got it. The p/n is f5tf-12a650-aec and the program code is ran2. I don't know how to determine for sure whether this is a computer intended for 2 o2 sensors and whether it wants a bap/map signal or not. I'm going to keep checking junkyards until I can find a truck that matches the haynes/chilton diagram for a 95 CA 5.8/auto (i.e. MAP sensor and 2 o2's) to grab an uncut harness from and maybe if i get lucky the computer will be there as well.
I am trying to do it right this time, and have all the parts and research done before I take a crack at this again. This time I'm going to a 351 roller instead of just converting my flat tappet 5.0 to MAF. So out with the 94 5.0 MAF harness and ecu that didn't work, and in with the stuff that *should* work, as soon as I have it all.
Aren't the only obd-II ford trucks the eec-v, 106 pin connector type(96+)? I was under the impression that everything prior was obd-1. All i know is haynes/chilton lists a 95 CA 5.8 as the correct harness for what I'm trying to do, and it shows 2 o2 sensors and a map sensor.
The main reason I haven't re pinned the 94 5.0 trans wiring is because its hard to get to under my truck to acess the connector and trace wires with my exhaust and extended radius arms and I would rather just use an engine harness/ecu that I can hook up to the trans harness connector and have it plug and play.
The 95 CA 5.8 that I got the computer from was definitely an e40d truck.

If theres a diagram I need its the pinout for the 95 351 maf/f250 f5tf-12a650-aec RAN2 computer i have.
Conanski has advised that I use the injector, maf, and iat wiring from the 94 5.0 harness and add it into my original 92 harness and use the 95 f250 maf/5.8 computer. I had considered this before but dont wan't to start until I've sorted out the MAP/02 sensor questions.
Looking at my 95 bronco evtm i'm going to have to go back to the junkyard and harvest the DPFE (differential pressure feedback egr) system which uses no egr valve position sensor and has a separate sensor mounted by the throttle body. This is obviously a 95 CA bronco. One other thing I'm noticing is the lack of the secondary air injection bypass (AIRB, it does have AIRD) valve in the diagram for a CA 5.8 in both the ford evtm and haynes (but I am DONE taking haynes diagrams seriously).
I'm going back to the junkyard soon to grab the dpfe and newer style egr valve, see how the hoses going to the dpfe sensor are routed, check to see if it has an AIRB valve, and count the 02 sensors, all stuff I should have done.
Other than that I think I'm about ready to do this. Having gone pin by pin, i'm pretty sure I know which wires to take out, which to add, and which to swap to make my stock 92 5.0 harness work with this computer:

BTW, I found a CA 5.8/e40d bronco in another yard with an uncut harness, assh*le wanted $400 for it.
What I've learned is that there are more differences than the way fuel injection system works when converting to MAF if you use a 1995 CA light duty (Under 8500 gvw) 5.8 pcm / ecu. The differential pressure feedback egr system is obviously very different in how it functions, so I can only assume that trying to hook up the old egr to the computer set up for the DPFE would result in MILs and driveability problems.
With all this crap properly installed and functioning I'm pretty sure I should pass smog.
Sux to hear about the second O2 sens. I was afraid of that also. I need to find someone that will weld stainless to put a bung in for me. Crud.
Was there any difference in the CANP? For some reason I thought I saw a reference to the VMV being a different critter.
I found a reference to Pin 31 on the 1995 EEC being the TAB/AIRB. but, it's not there after all you say? How does that affect the actual bypass valve and the vacuum routing?

I couldn't be sure how well the DPFE system will work with headers but I plan on trying to use my longtubes after I add on the boss for the egr in the first passenger side primary. I know that the pinout is the same for DPFE and EVP sensors but I don't know about the resistance range for each.
Cost aside, I'm glad I'm going to have two 02 sensors, I believe that allows it to check each exhaust stream and make adjustments to fuel and timing for individual injectors and see the effect in the exhaust stream following that particular cylinder. I think there is a way to fool the computer by splicing one 02 sensor into two 02 harnesses sending the same signal to both ins, but I'm not positive if this works well or not.
Maybe someone could verify but I think CANP and VMV are the same, similar to how they renamed the thermactor stuff (TAD/AIRD TAB/AIRB). the lack of the AIRB valve means one less electrical and vacuum connection group near the coil.
The 95 diagrams I've got have no AIRB (was pin 31 on my 92), nothing run from pin 31. On the CA 1995 trucks, VMV is pin 11 (was AIRB, pin 31 on my 92), and AIRD goes to 34 (was pin 11 on 92).

Sorry for the formula and all, but I just learned it, so I had to share.
I also read that project page where the guy put a 2 x O2 sensor EEC into a Bronco and then wired his single sensor into both EEC feeds. I wonder how that worked out for the guy. I guess the amount I'm quoted for the stainless welding will dictate whether I go for that jury rigging adventure.
What would all you expect to pay for welding an O2 bung onto a Stainless header?
About the AIRB, there are bigger concerns, at least for me. My smog pump pumps to the AIRB valve, it then routes to the AIRD and then to the Cylinder heads and CAT. Elementary so far, I know. Does the one device (AIRD) perform both functions? A three way solenoid so to speak? Seemingly that would make it bigger, it would need input from smog pump, Vent output (which is a whole separate 1/2 inch hose on mine), CAT output and finally Cylinder head output. Searching for a good pic of this combined part and can't seem to find one.
I wanted to route these hoses differently anyhow, but wanted to be prepared in case I can hardly find an intact example when I finally get to the yard this weekend.
