    90 harness help?

    You have to get an 5.0 engine harness out of a 90 for it to be plug and play. As stated above, 90's are a unique year unto themselves.

    Replaced TPS Sensor - still get .15 volts ???

    Update- Got a new TPS. Checked voltage on the green wire and got .14v :mad: So I guess it is not the TPS sensor. Just for giggles, I swapped in a known good C3W EEC. Got .14 volts again on the green wire of the TPS. So I guess that rules out the EEC. The only thing left is the...

    Replaced TPS Sensor - still get .15 volts ???

    Ok , I pulled the TPS connector and ran a jumper wire between the orange and green posts. Then I pulled codes and got the following KOEO- 21,23,24 and 67 Using a dedicated ground wire from the DVM back to the neg batt post I got the following at the ECU, KOEO 4.93 volts on the dark...

    Replaced TPS Sensor - still get .15 volts ???

    So if I do this ^ and get .7+ at idle and 4.5v+ at WOT------- The problem is in the EEC????? If I get lower voltage readings, the problem is in the wiring???

    pulled codes need info

    Code 34- PFE or EVP circuit above the closed limit of 0.67 volts. Code 96- Fuel pump secondary circuit failure. The EEC did not sense battery voltage on the Fuel Pump Monitor circuit. What sort of problems are you having??

    Replaced TPS Sensor - still get .15 volts ???

    Trying to adjust my TPS sensor as I read that it should be around .7 to .9 volts. Mine read .15 volts and I had a code 63 (low TPS voltage) so I replaced it with a brand new Ford TPS sensor and the new one reads .15 volts. :( Here is what I am getting: .15v between green and...

    Please tell me this is not my heater core....

    Well, if you have done it over 6 times, know exactly what tools you need and have them right at hand, it is possible I guess. I know that it would be an all day project for me. TO the OP, BTW- If you are replacing the heater core-- spend the extra money and get a Ford one. You do not...

    Need advice/tips

    As long as you have a place to do it and a basic set of tools, my advice is to tear it down your self. It really isn't that hard. If you don't need the car for a DD, I would make it a 2 weekend deal. Weekend 1- Tear down motor and remove heads. Since they are AL heads, I would take them to a...

    90 mustang GT voltage/wiring troubles?

    I just went through a little wiring/voltage drop nightmare on my 90. It may not be your problm but mine turned out to be a ground problem. Make sure that all 4 ground wires are there and the connections are clean - engine block to firewall - motor mount to frame - battery to engine block...

    few quick chassis to engine ground ?'s

    I would run a 4 ga wire from the engine block to the dash harness ground point near the starter solenoid. I also ran an 8 ga wire from that ground point direct to neg batt post as well as an 8 ga wire from the neg batt post to the front radiator support. The 2-8 ga wires might be...
