95' h.o

[91 Ranger]

hay guys I just bought a 94' H.O. for my swap, it dose not have the ECU and the harness is cut. I called a couple of junkyards and they told me there are like 4 different ECUs for a 5.0/auto. I want to run a C4 behind it. Dose anyone know the part # for the ECU that I will need or how to figure out witch one?

thanks

I think i would just get a harness out of a 89 to 93 fox body mustang. they are the most simple and the computer does good with mild bolt ons

Yes, you can use an '87-'93 Fox body harness and ECU (any one, manual or auto, will not matter).
If you want to use a '94/'95 harness and ECU, you may want an ECU from a manual car as the auto transmissions in those years (AODE) were controlled by the engine ECU. You won't need this with a C4, and without the E-trans, you may see a check engine light.
The '94/'95 ECU also controls the electric fan, another benefit.

I would look for an A9L computer it is out of the fox body cars and they have the most aggressive tune. and they seem to be the most forgiving. I believe they were in the 90 to 92 models with the manual trans. but I think you will need the harness from a manual trans car maybe someone else on here may know

A9L came in 89-93 mustangs with manual trans and are forgiving for different cams and strokes, etc. You can also get a chip for it from places like superchips to tune it for heavy mods...

yeah I wasn't sure on yrs I am using a 95 cobra computer with a burnt chip and a pms system as well.

If you have a 95 ECU it should be OBDII, so you don't need a chip for those, they are flash programmable, you just rewrite it...You might have a mid to late 94 ECU if you chipped it, but yeah, I think in 94 with the SN-95 body style the used a different ECU than the A9L's..

Thanks for all of the responses, there is a typo I have a 95' ho. I would like to go with the same year. So the OB that STV listed above is the one?

This site will give you hours of enjoyment, you can find everything to do a swap here. But I'll link the page to the EEC program codes:

thanks man

I have been reading over the tech library about the ignition, so because I am using EFI do I need a duraspark or not? Eather way why do you need to change to a duraspark from the OEM 5.0 distributor?

I have read threads about the smog delete and getting a dummy pully to take its place, but the one thing wrong with my motor is that the smog bracket is broke. I would like to just run a smaller belt, to save 250$ for a new bracket and pully. what do you guys think?

 

[allnpt0]

Running a shorter belt should be just fine.
