93 4.0 no check engine light….
thinking the ECU was hammered I put new capacitors in it today, one diode had an iffy solder arm that I touched up, (the rest of the three layer board was perfect) thinking that the hesitations and popping that happened on occasion while hard acceleration but are more normal now we’re coming from the bad PCM.
this occurred after replacing the plugs, properly gapped to .052, crank sensor the coolant temp sensor the throttle position sensor and the thermostat, while pulling the motor apart and fixing the lower intake leak and the timing cover leak….
So either the ECM is bad still, or the whole skip fire and pop chug on mild to hard acceleration is due to a bad MAF sensor….
But there’s no codes detected by the ECM.
loan me your thought friends!
