Ok guys, I have a 1995 5.0 5 spd.... Mostly stock/original other than CAI and Flowmaster mufflers. It has 134,000 miles and doesn't appear the engine has ever been into. Heres a little background and my question....
Car sat in guys garage for 3 years, we bought it, drove it home. Ran OK but not 5.0 OK. Bought a Ford scanner so I wouldn't have to count flashes. Code showed a defective MAF, put a new one on, runs 100 times better... still a little weak to me, but my daily is a Vette... LOL. My question is this, when the scanner was hooked up, it shows you number of cylinders for your engine, a 8 of course for the 5.0, but the scanner is telling me mine is a 6 cyl??? Is this something to be concerned about? Possibly the ECM was changed out for some reason for a junkyard 6 cyl one? I think the car just be a little stronger than it is, but I havent had a 5.0 GT for many years so I may be wrong... Thanks for any opinions guys!
