HI there,

I put a 97 explorer 5.0 in my 94 ranger. I used a wiring diagram off of classic broncos to help wire up the 97 pcm into the ranger, as well as using the wiring manuals for the explorer. The issue that I'm running into now, is we have 12v to everywhere that should have 12v, and have grounded all of the ground wires coming out of the pcm, but the pcm is not turning the fuel pump on, or telling the coils when to fire ect. I know we have power to the pcm. I'm wondering if we may be missing a safety switch or something like that, or , I may have burned up the pcm on accident?

Thoughts?

Doesn't '97 have PATS with transponder keys?

Everything I have found says it's only 98+. The vehicles vin says it's a 97, but I have gt40P heads. It certainly sounds like that could be the problem.The pcm number is xdt2
