Engine swap in my 94 F150 HELP!!!
i did an engine swap in my 94 f150 and the new motor is running really rough! I’ll try to explain what I did. I have a 94 f150 4wd manual transmission that had a 4.9 I6 and I swapped the engine to a 5.0 v8 out of a 92 f150 2wd automatic. I tried using the ECM from the 92 and it will crank and run but is running really rough, really rich! I know the 5.0 was running perfectly in the 92 because I own it also, it only has 60,000 miles on it, I just wrecked it. Do I need to get an ECM for a 94 manual 4wd? Please help!!!

Last night I unplugged the harness at the fender well and compared the pins on the 300 and 302 and they are quite a bit different. I read some posts on here last night about similar swaps and some of the things I read were like reading Greek as I’m not very good at schematics and things like that lol so I’m just kind of stuck right now!

P.S. Easiest way to do this is to first map the I6 engine harness, then do the same for the V8 engine harness and then just move pins in the bulkhead connector of the V8 harness to match the I6 layout... these connectors come apart so no wire splicing necessary either. Assuming both motors are equipped with the SD harness then there should be the same number of wires in each, and all you need is a multimeter or circuit buzzer to test for continuity from end to end.

Yes... that is exactly where I was going with my inquiry and there is no easy way around it so you have some work to do. You need to figure out what devices are on what pins on the engine side of the harness and match them up with the corresponding pins on the chassis side.

Hey, the thing has actually run, so you're ahead in the game near as I can tell.
This is a repost of Randy/rla2005 wiring help to me that I used to convert my 94 to mass air.
It should help you fix yours with guidance:
Try these. All for a 1994
