ok guys got a few questions for any body that can help . First i will let u know what i am working it is a 91 ranger i put a motor out of a 85 merkur ok now that you your up to speed

#1 ok the eec relay is not clicking the yellow wire is hot all the time but no other is hot there should be one that turns hot after the key comes on right which one
#2 I need to get the vacum hoses hooked up but dont know where they all go so need a diagram
#3 all the hoses on the comp. side of the turbo and to the waste gate vavle need to know where they go to

If i can get these answered maybe i can get this thing running

thanks
 
cant help you on the first 2 but the last is from the compressor to the wastegate thats all by the way my truck had the same motor in it before i got it now i got 88tc in it how did you go about your swap
 
found a donor car near home the the guy sold me the pcm and harness for about 250 i think i have been working on it for about a year it is a very lo budget build have a grand total of maybe about 700 or 800 dollars in all
 
i got 1500 in mine mine was a budget too now im just upgrading startin another motor build bigger and better my suggestion would of been to keep the factory harness just put the headon the block it would of been easier but to each his own hope everything works out
 
the truck i got for free my brother trashed the engine in it so thats why i did it this way
 
that a good enough excuse wish i could get a free truck but im not that lucky... hope everything works out and you can get it goin soon mine will hopefully be out of the shop friday im hoping been down for 3 months need boost again its addicting
 
ok found one of the proplems had a major case of dumbass the red and lt green is hot when the igntions on i never hooked it up so shoot me and give me a sign \
 
man o man got to put in the 255lph pump put man dose it run got alot of pe detonation got to get timen just right anybody know what it should be let me know and also has i under load miss in 2nd and higher gears
