Do you have a picture on how to do this? What wires are neutral,how to connect,where to purchase resistor,etc? I appreciate all of the feedback.When I do this I am going to take a bunch of step by step pictures so it might help someone else in the future,If I can figure out how to post them( computer illiterate).

Son of an English teacher. It happens.
Yeah, it "fools" the computer into thinking the engine is in neutral which allows throttle response to be immediate.
I was actually thinking about that idea. There are enough folks who pursue this idea that I am thinking I might add it to the FAQ's. I am in the midst of doing this same project so perhaps we could keep notes and put it all together. I'd be willing to add the entire article to the FAQ website.

When you say swap computer,does that mean there is one for the engine and the tranny ?Or is there only one computer to change? Sorry for all the questions,but I have always owned dodge.I love Ford because they have a freakin tough a_ _ work truck,And they didn't take a dime of BAILOUT MONEY!My choice is now FORD and will always be.

The EEC-IV computers are vehicle, engine, and transmission specific. So in other words, if you have a 92 with a 5.0 and an E4OD, the computer is not going to work in another truck with a 4.9 and an M5OD. The same is true for your 95 Taurus with a V6 as opposed to a 4 cylinder. The oddity is the fact that some transmissions are electronically controlled and others are not. And depending upon the year and model you may have such a transmission and you may not. This alters which computer is in it. If that isn't confusing enough, there are even a few differences between model years from engine to engine.
