- If it ain't broke, I can't fix it.
I think I really messed up. I've got a 2000 Ranger that I did a 5.0L swap on recently. I've been trying to troubleshoot a miss for 4 weeks now. In my frustration, I finally decided to try another PCM. Initially I tried to start it and it would only turn over, but it wouldn't start (injectors not firing).
I've got an SBB V33.02 Key Programmer, so I attempted to add the key to the system so that I could try out the other PCM. The programmer would not successfully add the key, so I decided to erase all keys and add it. Done this on Civics many times with no issues... but this is a Ford. Anyway, it wouldn't add the new key once erased. Wasn't too worried because I figured I'd throw in the original 5.0L PCM and all would be well. Needless to say, I put the original PCM back in and it won't even turn the starter over. I then attempted to add the key to the original 5.0 PCM and it won't take either, so now I've got a paperweight.
My original 5.0 PCM I had reflashed years ago to remove a number of things, one of them the PATs data. The key I was using on the vehicle was the orignal V6 key, so obviously the transceiver module was good with it and it sent a signal to the PCM that all was well, but the PCM didn't require an ID from the key.
Now it appears that the transceiver module has been erased and so it won't send the signal to the PCM, hence the vehicle not turning over.
Anyone have a solution to fix this or do I need to get a matched transceiver and key(s)?
