I used a 94 ranger, and transfered everything over. Did you do any splicing?

I had a problem for almost 3 months. I finally figured out one connector wasn't fully seated. I had taped over the connector so ASSumed that it was good. I did learn a lot about the electrical system though, so it wasn't a total loss.

the first attachment i am uploading shows a red/w wire coming out of pin 9 from ecm harness and should goto pin 1 on round harness hh plug on drivers firewall (x 4.0 hh harness) on the 89 b2 its a different wire that is in pin 1 on hh firewall harness. what would the red/w wire be used for? could that control the spark and injector pulse?

the second pic is showing the O2 sensor harness's and what would be for the camshaft sensor that my doner 4.0 does not have in it at all. why would it have a plug for a sensor that is not there at all? i found one in local yard that didnt have the plug but it was for a manual, but the main plug and play harness's are different.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
sounds like a crank run issue.

did you try to wire the two systems together or stand alone the 94 setup?
