Why do i have a 3.0L taurus computer in my stang haha

[Black1987Stang]

Ok so i take out my computer to start my mass air conversion and i look on my computer to see if it had like a chip in it or something and i see the sticker that covers the opening for a chip says "3.0L TAURUS/SABLE USE ONLY"!!!! I was like UHHHHHHH. I matched it up to my new mass air computer and its like 1-2 inches shorter, way different shape and design and has hex head screws in it rather torx. Anybody ever hear of this before!!! I wouldnt even think a v6 3.0L computer would work in a V8 car.

yeah they are compatiable

Modular 2V, How does the 6 vs 8 cylinder part work?

This is not the first time someone has posted seeing a Taurus puter in their early aero fox either. strange.

I bought a bunch of parts off a guy who switched to carb and the computer he gave me is off a sable also.... i dunno how it worked but I later found a A9p

 

[84blkstang]

The cpu i got looked exactly like a fox cpu but just had a different lable on it

 

[ohyouknow]

so do the tauraus computers work on the mass air cars ???? or only on sd?

 

[mikeflys1]

SD cars arent sequential injected right? Thats why it works......doesnt matter how many cylinders with batch fire.

 

[HISSIN50]

SD cars arent sequential injected right?

That would be news to me.

 

[mikeflys1]

That would be news to me.

lol nevermind just double checked.

I actually had the EXACT SAME moment of surprise when I pulled my eec out. It said taurus/sable only. The car apartenly ran so I shrugged and stuck it back in. Got good milage and power but it always seemed to be a bit flaky. Maybe this is why,
