Yeah that’s insane. Just about the easiest thing to remove on the whole damn car.The things people do blows my mind. It's ONE bolt to remove the harness....ONE.. What a mess they made cutting all those wires!
Probably snuck into the guy's place and had to cut it quick or something. Still looking for the right ECM, closest I've found was this: https://www.partsgeek.com/rnvdgm6-f...a&fp=pp&utm_term=Ford+Electronic+Control+UnitThe things people do blows my mind.

I've looked around a bit more and "a1 cardone 784484" seems to be the one, but every online retailer seems to be very vague about transmission types. irritating as hell man. Edit- Rockauto seems to mention automatic trans. lots o money87 is an odd year for wiring due to how they routed pin 30 through the start circuit. In 88 later cars you never want to run a 5-spd ECU in An AOD car. Will fry the ECU.
Unsure if it applies to 1987 and a few early 1988 cars. By mid 1988 Ford began wiring all cars as if they had mass air in prep for 1989, but I don't think there was an ECU change.
So , * in theory* you could run a 1988 AOD ECU.
is corral the competitor to this website? and i checked on the cardone website and 784484 should work in my year with auto. i plan on swapping to manual eventually but it needs to run first lol. i just need a second opinion on this before i buy it and find out it won't work. im a broke kid so 150 bucks is a lot to toss out hahaI checked there too but they don't lost codes.
I hate to say it, but check over on www.corral.net. They have a few posters there that are very good with eec type questions. Just ignore the one rude guy

I tested it, and the DC does work. one thing that i didn't quite notice until i went to go put the ECM in, it actually says it on the mounting bracket which one belongs, a big ol DC printed on there. my dumb*** didn't even bother to look.Found your thread over there.

The "someone" is indy2000. His responses are correct, but usually incomprehensible.
It's holiday time, you might not get a good response until next week.
Decipha is the EEC expert.
This is his forum. https://eectuning.org/forums/
You should be able to find the correct part number over there.
If you had the 5-spd, my DA1 for 1988 would work. It's for sale to anyone who needs it.
jrichker's list is missing the '88 year.
