Engine Control Computer

Can someone help! Where would I find the engine control computer on my 88 F-150, 5.0, AT, no air. I think I need to replace it, but don't know where it is located. Thanks for any help.

The truck died on me, but before it did, it would not accelerate when I gave it more gas. Since then it won't start. It has fuel and spark. Any other suggestions?

Yes, pull the codes before you go blindly swapping parts. Find the EEC test connector on the drivers inner fender, ground the STI wire, turn the key on, and any codes present will flash on the check engine light. See www.fordfuelinjection for more details.
