Angry EEC-IV code 998

i have a 1995 f-150 with the 5.0 V-8. the check engine light has been on for a while and i found out how to check the code using a 6" jumper wire and watching the check engine light. i am pretty sure that it gave me a code 998 which is supposed to be a fault in the ECT/ACT/MAF/TPR circuit. does anyone know what the heck that means. i have never heard of that before. any help will be appreciated.

998=hard fault present. this is the dreaded "limp-mode". Extensive problems are what normally trip this code. Additional codes will be present with this code.

I would check codes again. that dosent sound right.

well after further investigation, doing the test "key on engine off" again, it gave me a code 22. then continuing on to the "key on engine running" test it gave me the dreaded 998 code. i found some more info on-line about the 998 code. basically it said that you must pass the "key on engine off" test with a code 11 before doing the engine running test.
