    Please help 01 cobra swapped gt

    If you checked both PCM pinouts line by line, and found no differences, then there is no reason you can't communicate with the new PCM. You do have to be careful that the VREF wire or it's branches are not being grounded because of differences in the harness. That can make the PCM act...

    You wouldn't be able to delete PATS without software, hardware, and communication. What I meant was send it in and have me delete PATS. I can program the PCM on the bench, so there is not going to be a communication issue when I do it, because it's all my gear, UNLESS the PCM itself is bad. And...

    Please help 01 cobra swapped gt

    The engine harness doesn't have a whole lot of overlap with the other functions of the car. But typically, you would use either the 99 Cobra PCM and harness, or the 01 GT harness and 99 Cobra PCM. Whichever lines up the best with the least amount of work. I prefer to use the Cobra PCM and...

    I know what's wrong. You'll have to do some tests on the car to pinpoint it though. It's not a PATS issue at this point. It's a PCM-related issue, and I'll have to show you how to diag it so you don't erroneously replace what may be a good computer.

    Please help 01 cobra swapped gt

    Yes, if you put your GT computer back in, it would start the car since everything else is still all stock (the cluster, the keys, and the transceiver). Of course the tune would be all wrong, and the GT would think it's controlling 19# injectors instead of the Cobra's 39# injectors. So it might...

    The 01 Cobra PCM has PATS anti-theft. When you installed that PCM into another car, it's no longer getting the A-OK signal from the PATS module (which was integrated into the Instrument Cluster Module on your 01 Cobra). When the PCM doesn't have permission from PATS, it will disable the injector...

    2001 GT PATS issues

    Did you get this car fixed? What was it? I know this is old, but for future readers I thought I would respond anyway. Stalling while driving is a very unusual situation. PATS is certainly not allowed to shut off a running car. And the PCM has a backup plan for just about any sensor failing...

    Electrical How to disable PATS 1998 3.8L

    The code P1260 indicates that the PCM is being told not to let the engine run by the PATS system. In the 96-98 Mustangs, there is a standalone PATS module behind the dash that is the decision maker, and it tells the PCM whether or not to let the car start. If it tells the PCM not to let the car...

    still running rich--30 lb injectors

    That depends on the fuel pressure, duty cycle and the brake specific fuel consumption. I tuned a 94 GT with bolt-ons and 24# injectors, which made 245 at the wheels (about 300 at the flywheel), and the 24's were all but done. Anything over 300 really required 30# injectors in his case. If...

    Please somebody have an answer for me!!!!

    Check to make sure you're getting the right voltage TO the mass air meter. Check the resistance from the ground wire to an engine or battery ground, to make sure the ground wire is good. Check resistance in all 3 wires between the PCM and the MAF, one wire at a time, if all else fails. You...

    Injector offset or Volts vs adder

    I say they don't have a clue what they're talking about. Go to the Ford Racing Parts website, look up your exact injectors, and then find the factory injector specifications sheet that Ford is nice enough to list for you. Use the Ford data for the injectors, get an uncalibrated MAF, and tune the...

    still running rich--30 lb injectors

    If you've got an SCT dyno tuner near you, I would go that route. While a lot of hype has been made about buying mail-order tuning or chips, the truth is that putting a car on the dyno and measuring the actual air/fuel ratio with good equipment is the only real way to do it. When you change a MAF...

    new to mustangs,need tuning help

    When it comes to late model EFI cars, modified engines generally need to be retuned by someone who understands the required changes. On the EEC-V cars (94-04), the spark timing is calculated by load. Load is calculated by Mass airflow, rpm, and cubic inches. Any changes to MAF or cubic inches...

    Anyone running 60# injectors with stock computer?

    There is a crank fuel table in the tune that (while in cranking mode) fires the injectors for a preset pulsewidth. Making your injectors 3 times larger than stock pretty much puts in 3 times as much fuel as stock. That would do it. Also, changing airflow meter calibrations will have an effect...
