Hello, I have recently swapped a 4.0 SOHC from a 2001 Explorer into my 2006 Ranger that had a 2.3L engine in it. So far, things went pretty well. I just had some weird engine mount issues for a bit, but I was able to get that sorted.
Now, my current issue is electrical. While I was able to snag the PCM off the Explorer, I was not able to get the ECU. With that, I'm having issues with it not wanting to crank off the key. I have checked the fuse running from the key to the starter circuit, and I get under 1 volt of electricity to that fuse when cranking.
Is there any idea what could be wrong with it? As well as, do I have to somehow find an ECU to get it to work in the first place?
Mostly asking as I was going to take it to a shop to get it diagnosed and fixed as I cannot figure out electrical to save my life, and last second (had an appointment scheduled) they turned me away. So I'm mostly wondering if I am absolutely screwed and just wait a whole lot of money for basically nothing
