You're referring to the backlight in the button and not the Traction Control [On/Off] indicator?

No the physical button itself when the cars on the light on the buttons always on

Neighbor swears by the speed bleeders too..... He has been using them on his " 6 Million dollar" Jeep......

Thank you! We’re not done yet, and I’m sure there will be more things to do but I’d like to express my utmost appreciation for all the help and advice we’ve gotten from the members of this forum.

Jeez, you sound like me.

Code 81 and 82 you can ignore. You can put some resistors in the plugs if it bothers you and you'll never see the codes again. Leaving them doesn't change anything how the car runs. Excellent, not worried about those codes. Probably not worth the effort to do anything.

Code 85. You can also ignore. I assume the gas cap is vented anyway. Yes, not worried about it.

Code 79 is AC/Defrost was on during the testing Agree

Code 33 does turn the EGR function off. Is this system functional on your car? Most folks delete it? The code 33 turns the function off, so short of an EGR leak into the engine, this shouldn't affect how car runs. It was working as far as we know, but have not looked at it in detail. The code is new since yesterday.

Long story short, codes indicate the ECU/engine is running properly. How does it feel?

Thomas it ran fine in the short drive to school. Thought it sounded different. He'll drive it more this afternoon. I think he should drive it for a tank of gas and check the milage again. I'm searching eBay for proper upper intake as the next project.

Well it looks like my bell housing is trashed. It looks like the metal cylinder was there as a spacer to get this pivot stud to attempt to grab on straight to this absolutely destroyed boss for the pivot stud. Hoping the guy that’s selling me the dowels has a spare bell housing or I’m dead in the water until I can get an oem one.

You still need to swap out those intakes just because I remember being 17 and how slow my T-Bird was and wishing it was a little faster to keep up with the Mustangs...ha ha ha!!!

It's on the list!

It really was a eureka moment when we realized the ACT sensor plug had not been extended over to the sensor in the intake tube. Some wire, a couple heat-shrink connectors, and some loom and we were set. Many fists were bumped!

Thomas drove to school this morning and pulled the codes.

54 was gone. Success!
79, 81, and 82 remain but not worried about them.
New code: 85. No surprise because the CANP connector is now open and there's no Evap canister or purge solenoid. We have a spare ACCT sensor that could be plugged into the connector just to turn off the code.
New code: 33. EGR not responding. We disconnected this plug during the continuity tests. Initial suspicion is the plug is not seated correctly.

Agree, someone tried to shim it or rig it or whatever its not right. Good thing you are replacing it. You have a new clutch fork? If not inspect for wear where the throw out bearing makes contact with it. This was what mine looked like when I replaced it.

Also, is there a Ford part number on that bell housing? If so post a picture of it please.

Yes I’ve also got a new clutch fork as well. I assumed everything was in terrible shape so I bought it all.

This morning I’m going to remove the old pivot stud to make sure that the threads aren’t cooked and the cylinder piece wasn’t used as a band aid or something.

@Noobz347..."I'm definitely not in the original hole"??? Come on man you have to do it.

If you put a tube into a bottle and let them gravity bleed, no air should really get in there if you don't let the reservoir run low.

There are also other methods and tools that can be had cheap (homeowner use quality) that make it easier.

My saleen explorer had 4 piston alcon brakes with speed bleeders, i thought that were pretty awesome and when i do my 4 piston upgrade to the front, they will go on them too. Basically turns the bleeder into a one way valve, fluid can go out, but not in.

@Mustang5L5 do you have more pics of how you routed your vacuum lines?

Kid wita 5oh · Jan 31, 2024

I'm definitely not in the original hole, and want to try to keep it out of the bay completely.

I'll recheck under the dash to see if Im looped around a harness or something. If you guys are able to reach the latch making the turn into the strut tower I should have plenty the way I am doing it

Here's something that might be helpful for you

I printed that to keep in my garage just in case down the road I need a refresher.

Thanks all, I finally sorted it out. Between the great folks at Summit and DIY auto it turns out I ordered/was sent the wrong ecu. Summit had it listed to work with my car but actually the wiring is different in the megasquirt for the 94/95 gt then the 86-93. It was listed as a 86-95 fit which was incorrect. All sorted out by the folks at diy and remedied by summit. Replacement on its way.
