Hi guys, I need some help. I swapped a 93 ranger engine and automatic transmission into an 88 ranger. I swapped the entire harness and dash. The truck ran great for the first 20 miles but then it started dying randomly as it got to operating temp. It would start up and run once it cooled off. But eventually stopped running completely. I thought it was a fuel delivery issue at first but then I determined it was the ecm. I had a spare ecm from a 95 explorer that I put in and it runs perfectly but it won’t shift into OD now.
I’ve bought 3 ecms now, 2 from from 93 rangers with A/T, 1 from a 93 explorer A/T and the truck won’t start with any of them. Why would it start with a 95 explorer ecm but not with the correct ecm?
