Just solder a wire between the solder points above and below the burnt trace. 28 or 30 gauge will be fine.
ok thanks, I know the lower solder point Is, by where the computer plugs in but it's kind of hard to tell with the upper solder point is.could you give me a reference. Please, and thank you. I don't want to mess this up for a second time, lol
Thanks, I read the thread. I get where the lower (by where the computer plug is) solder point is, but its kind of tricky to find the upper point.

Thanks so much, I got it working. I can't thank you guys enough, I couldn't of done it without your help
I am now going to be installing a Explorer GT40 intake and resetting my idle and tps. Also want to check my timing , is 10° a good starting point?
Thanks
10* is the factory setting. They usually run the best with a few extra degrees adv around 12-15*. But start at 10. Also depends on what octane fuel you use. If you use 87 keep the 10*
Ok, thank you. I run premium 91 or 93 it's available at a few places around me. I'll shoot for 10, and adjust from there.
I have a couple codes now that I'm trying to figure out.
With engine off key on, 51,22,54,81,85.
With engine running, 98,54,51.
Any advice? And as always thanks..

Might want to unplug the ACT and ECT sensor, and check that you have 5v between the two terminals in the connector. Looks there might still be an issue with the SIGRTN circuit. But that depends on what you find when you test for voltage.
How did you pull the codes?
How did you pull the codes?
I used a actron scanner, when I do is a key on engine off test I don't get an 11, I get kind of a fuzzy blank. then it's followed by a code 51, 22, 54, 81, and 85. when I do a key on engine running test I get a code 98, 54, and 51. I think I'm having trouble dumping the codes I started another threa I sync code 54, and 51 are the a ACT and ECT sensors. I have a new ECT sensor to put in because its broke, but I do not know where the ACT sensor is ..lol
Thanks.
Thanks, I found it. I had nothing plugged it into my harness (no sensor).I replace that I just laid it on my intake,I'm getting a new gt40 upper and lower on Monday with the number 5 tapped and drilled.The ACT for 5.0 Mustangs lives in the lower intake manifold #5 runner.
now I'm working on some other issues that you guys are helping me with my other thread. It's code 22. I'm doing tests and sent a pic of what I think you told me to look for in my other thread..
Thanks for everything. Im not giving up, with your guy's help I know I can figure it out...
