What is a P.M.S and what does it do?
Unlock the Performance Potential of your ECC-IV with Engine Tuning Adjustability Not Available in any Performance "Chip"!
The P.M.S. goes far beyond the capabilities of a performance "chip", offering a broad selection of adjustments and tuning. Now you can take advantage of aftermarket performance components while still using the stock engine control computer! Step up to the P.M.S. and move into tomorrow's world of performance!
The Series III PMS for 89-95 ECC-IV Mustang has some great new features in addition to all the other great features it already has.
* Now comes with global fuel adjustments, which means you can offset the mass air for different sized injectors.
* Air charge temp and Water temp fuel and timing adjustments can now be made from -40 to +250 degrees
* TPS volts are now adjustable: What this means is if you want 1.05 to be idle you put that in. The same with W.O.T. - you tell the PMS what volts.
* NEW! Easier to use controller with adjustments down to 500 rpm increments starting at 2000 rpm
* NEW! for 2004 single data display screens let you monitor spark timing, injector function, oxygen sensor, water temp, air charge temp., mass air voltage and manifold pressure/vacuum
* Start fuel setting, which controls the injector when the starter is turning the motor over. This gets rid of the hard starting with 42 lb. injector or bigger.
* Air Fuel Mixture fully adjustable.
* Idle Mixture and Timing fully adjustable.
* Stand alone turn on is now adjustable: The stand alone is set up to turn on at 3500rpm, which can be adjusted from 2000 rpm to 5600 rpm. The factory EEC has no control in standalone mode. This gives us even better fuel and timing control and now the Rev limiter can be moved to as high as 9900 rpm with a faster processor.
* Total spark and rate-of-advance fully adjustable.
* Two step rev-limiter.
* Two programmable RPM/Throttle output accessory control switches.
* Tunable Nitrous Oxide Adjustment Table.
* Tunable Turbo or Supercharger timing and fuel adjustment up to 30lb of boost.
* Purple anodized, finned aluminum case resists corrosion, dirt and moisture!
* Easy installation in less than one hour.
* Plug in and Run” installations requires no programming—Just start it up and go!
* Increased RAM, EPROM, and EEPROM Internal Memory Capacity!
* Easy “User Friendly” operation—detailed owner’s manual explains all functions.

TUNING TIPS
Series III Model ECC-IV PMS Tuning Tips
To start off with lets set the throttle position sensor, so the PMS is on the right load tables. Warm the car up to operating temperature (180-198). Do this with a drive, don't just let it sit and idle. Set your base idle (with the idle motor unplugged) at 850-900 rpm with the throttle screw. Now check your T.P. sensor voltage with a volt meter. Take that voltage (lets say it is 1.04 volts) and go into the PMS option to TPS voltage and set idle voltage to 1.06. Now turn off key and turn it back on. It should say idle now on the data screen. If not readjust voltage numbers until it does. This gets the PMS in sink with the load table.
Stand alone
With your base timing set at 10 degrees and the stand alone turned on with nothing in the PMS, the total timing is 25 degrees at W.O.T. above the rpm and throttle position you chose to turn on the stand alone. Air fuel is 12.8 to 1 at W.O.T. with a correctly calibrated Pro-M mass air meter in the stand alone tables.
Knowing this, it is easy to tune if you know how much timing you want. If you want 32 degrees at wide open throttle at 6000 rpm, you put +7 at WOT at 6000 rpm in the PMS and this will give you 32 degrees total at 6000 rpm.
Timing ranges for 5.0 Mustang:
Natural Aspirated on pump gas 9.5 compression 29-32 degrees total advance at 6000 rpm.
Supercharged on pump gas 14 lb of boost 17-21 degrees total advance at 6000 rpm.
The trick to tuning the timing is the curve not just the total advance. You have to experiment with this and see what your combination likes. The same goes for the fuel curve.
Understanding the boost tables
I will try to explain this best as I can. Let's say your car has 14lb of boost at 6000 rpm. If you have the boost table turned on in the PMS and have the max boost set at 20 lb. you have at MAX boost 6000 rpm -10. This will give you a total timing at 6000 rpm with 14 lb of boost 18 degrees.
How to calculate this out is by the following: Take the timing you have in max boost (-10) and divide it by the setting you have in for max boost which is 20, then multiply it by the cars max boost at 6000 rpm. So it will look like this: -10 divided by 20 times 14 = -7. That means the PMS will pull 7 degrees out of your base of 25. So you will have 18 degrees.
If you have timing put in at WOT, let's say you have +4, that would be included with the boost timing so you would have 22 degrees at 6000 and 14lb of boost.
I hope this helps

Warm the car up to operating temperature (180-198) - do this with a drive. Don't just let it sit and idle. Set your base idle (with the idle motor unplugged) at 850-900 rpm with the throttle screw. Adjust your T.P. sensor (you will usually have to file bigger slots in the T.P. sensor to accomplish this) so the PMS hand held says idle in the top left hand corner. The easiest way to do this is after you have set the base idle, shut off the car and turn the key on (engine not running) and put the PMS hand held on the dash so you can see it through the windshield and adjust the T.P. sensor until it says idle. Now plug the idle motor back in. Finally, check to make sure that when the pedal is on the floor it says W.O.T. in the top left corner.
Stand Alone
With your base timing set at 10 degrees and the stand alone turned on with nothing in the PMS, the total timing is 25 degrees above 4000 rpm and Air/Fuel is 12.8 to 1 with a correctly calibrated Pro-M mass air meter.
Knowing this, it is easy to tune if you know how much timing you want. If you want 32 degrees at wide open throttle at 6000 rpm, you put +7 at WOT at 6000 rpm in the PMS and this will give you 32 degrees total at 6000 rpm.

I will try to explain this the best as I can. Let's say your car has 14lb of boost at 6000 rpm. If you have the boost turned on in the 900 menu and have the max boost set at 20 lb. in the 600 menu you have at MAX boost 6000 rpm -10. This will give you a total timing at 6000 rpm with 14lb of boost 18 degrees.
How to calculate this out: Take the timing you have in 600 max boost -10 divided by the setting you have in max boost in 900 which is 20 and times it by the cars max boost at 6000 rpm. So it will look like this -10 divided by 20 times 14 = -7. That means the PMS will pull 7 degrees out of your base of 25. So you will have 18 degrees.
If you have timing put in at WOT which is menu 300: Let's say you have +4. That would be included with the boost timing so you would have 22 degrees at 6000 and 14lb of boost.
