My good neighbor bought a non-running, low miles (46K) Lariat w/ 5.0 eng. Been sitting about five years. Started throwing parts at it: fuel pump, fuel tank, injectors (2 sets). fuel pressure regulator, throttle position sensor, a known good distributor, MAP - trying to get it to run right but it will will only idle roughly. Will not rev up unless you play with the accelerator pedal very slowly (too slow to drive). It has good fuel pressure, is not showing any codes. Local indie mechanic is at a loss. I suggested we try my extra ECM for my '88 Ranger - possible we burn something up assuming the '88 ECM will even plug up? Thoughts welcome!
