Interesting that Upfix calls them transistors instead of capacitors. I can see from the photos that it's the capacitors that they have replaced.

 

If you smell fuel while cranking the PIP is more than likely working.
Unplug the computer to stop the injectors from firing while you work on the spark problem.

 

Hello,
I have not been able to make your links work. I am trying to get the correct ECM for my 1989 F350 rear wheel drive dually with 5sp manual transmission. Motocraft does not recognize the VIN. (2FTJW35G4KCB23368). Here is the calibration code from the door.8-97A-R10. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

 

Calibration code 8-97A-R10 translates to part list No 54.
Parts list No 54 gives FORD part No F0TZ 12A650-AXA and the No on the unit F0TF 12A 650-AX1A.

 

Thank you, I have been fighting with this for a while. The dealer has been no help.

 

Hello, wondering if you have a calibration parts list for 6-98Q-R10.
Looks like the previous links no longer work. Thank you!

 

Sure here it is:

Thank you so much!

It's been difficult to confirm part numbers for this truck. The shop manual can be a bit ambiguous for the 1996 California F250s over 8500 GVWR.

 

Subford, can you help? I need a replacement ECM for my 1996 F350 4x4 MT. The original ECM is a F6TF-12A650-BFA and apparently they are rare I assume. I cannot find anything less than $1200. My question is can I use another ECM with a different calibration code? If so would you know what would be compatible?

 

is this an eec-iv truck(not california MAF)

If so, you need a PCM for a v8 with MAP sensor and a manual transmission, the pcm has to be a 8 cylinder or it wont run the fuel injectors right (i6), it has to be manual transmission / c6 computer so it doesnt try and operate a transmission

That would probably work but youd want to have a 7.5 for fuel maps id think to be best accurate. otherwise aftermarket J3 port tuning can be done (moates for example)

IF this is eec-v, then any 8 cylinder pcm should be able to be flashed by a dealer to the proper calibration even if its different part number .

 

Yes, it is an eec-IV with map sensor. The only two ecm’s I can find on rockauto are calibration #’s 6-98P and 6-98T. My cal # is 6-97A. I’m just trying to figure out what would work with my powertrain other than my current inoperable
6-97A.

 

Would it be possible to get the calibration code for the following? It’s a 1996 F-150 XLT 4.9L 2WD 5-speed built in December 1995

 

That's the same 'Authorized Modification' sticker I had on my long-gone '87 Crown Vic Police 351. Originally a Variable Venturi '2-barrel', there was a 'quiet' Ford-authorized TSB for police to get retrofitted with the mid-80s truck 351HO 4-barrel intake and carburetor. BUT, from what I have learned is that those modified cars were never to be sold to the public afterwards. Oops. Mine slipped trough... I bought it at the municipal auction in 1991 with 111k miles. I sold it to a buddy in 1994. He later yanked the motor and rebuilt it for his '88 T-bird race car.

 

 

thanks so much!
